Unforgotten BHS ' 74 Graduate

1956 - 2024

Joseph Patrick Colligan  

Joe was born in Butler and graduated from  Butler High School in 1974. He so much wanted to attend his 50th class reunion this fall.

While growing up, Joe always dreamed of being on stage, he often kept his family and friends laughing at his original skits, jokes and imitations. In his high school years, he landed on the stages of Butler High School, where he shined in "Barefoot in the Park," "1776," as Charlie in "Flowers for Algernon" and Pellinore in "Camelot.".
