Accused mob hit man Anthony Colandra is a helluva guy, the Rev. Kazimierz Kowalski says
Reputed mob hit man Anthony Colandra is charged with lying to the feds when he denied gunning down Colombo soldier John Minerva and Michael Imbergamo.
"He goes out of his way to help people," the Rev. Kazimierz Kowalski said Sunday after Mass. "The people in the parish and the church have complete confidence in him."
Sunday's Daily News featured a front-page story revealing how Colandra - the suspected gunman in a 1992 double murder - won relaxed terms to his home arrest so he could coach his son's baseball team. Colandra, 41, is charged with lying to the feds when he denied gunning down Colombo soldier John Minerva and Michael Imbergamo.
Some parishioners at Our Lady of Good Counsel said they were stunned to learn their church's full-time janitor is in legal hot water. "Everybody was surprised," said parishioner Manuel Medina. "To me, he was a gentleman."
The News detailed how Brooklyn Magistrate Ramon Reyes agreed to modify Colandra's $500,000 bail conditions so he can leave his apartment on E. 93rd St. to coach for two hours on Sundays and Mondays.
Colandra typically comes to Good Counsel on Sundays to set up chairs and tables, but Sunday he went to see his brother's family in New Jersey, Kowalski said. His bail conditions allow him to leave home for work, to visit a few relatives on weekends - and now coach.
