From Bob Falcione on Facebook, 9/25/2019

For Needham friends:
Colahan, John G. a lifelong resident of Needham passed away peacefully on September 23, 2019 surrounded by his dear friends and family. Cherished son of the late John and Simone Colahan. Jack leaves his sister Jeanne Colahan of Boston and his brother Christopher Colahan and his partner Donna McKenna of St. Cloud, Florida, his beloved nieces Caitlin and her husband Nick Jones along with their children Shayla, Ryan and Ashlyn of Franklin and niece Meghan Colahan and her spouse Ellen Moar of Scotland.

A graduate of Northeastern University majoring in sociology he went onto a career as a social worker in the Boston Welfare Department. He was passionate about photography and spent numerous summers as the track photographer at New England Dragway. His other passion was music and he knew it better than anyone and shared it with everyone. He so valued his family and his group of friends that surrounded him and supported him. Jack you will be missed.

Visiting hours at the George F. Doherty & Sons Funeral Home, 1305 Highland Ave. Needham on Friday, September 27, from 4-7pm followed by a funeral service in the funeral home on Saturday, September 28, at 11am. Relatives and friends kindly invited. Interment in Old Calvary Cemetery, Roslindale. In lieu of flowers, if you so choose make a donation to your favorite charity.

Here is a photo Jack gave to me of our failed excursion to Mrs. Peabody's conservation area. Everyone is having a laugh, because there was a Dover police officer standing behind Jack waiting for us to leave. Hopefully, Jack gave a copy to everyone in the photo. Otherwise just download it from here. Thank you, Jack.:
