Obituary for Francis "Butch" Coliskey

Francis Joseph (Butch) Coliskey, 80 of Tuckahoe, New York, passed away surrounded by his “girls” in the early hours of Tuesday January 10, 2023. Butch was born in Yonkers, NY to the late Frank Coliskey and Arlene (Jalbert) Coliskey. Predeceased by his sister Barbara and brother Roger (Wicky) Coliskey.

Butch leaves behind a loving family: his dear wife of 47 years, Susan (Faynor) Coliskey; daughter Adrienne Humphrey, her husband Drew and one of the lights of his life, his first granddaughter, Lila Brooke. Daughter Megan Bellino, her husband Michael, and his other two most prized treasures, granddaughter Logan Isabelle and grandson Camden Joseph. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and loyal friend, Butch lived the exact life he wanted, leaving work as a Scarsdale Firefighter at work and spending as many warm summer hours as possible in the White Mountains of NH surrounded by family and dear friends. His greatest joy was seeing the smiles on his grandchildren’s faces on Christmas Day, their birthdays, a day at the Bronx Zoo or a visit to the park. They made his life worth living.

If you would like to honor Butch, we suggest in lieu of flowers a donation to one of his favorite charities, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital https://www.stjude.org/, Tunnel to Towers https://t2t.org/, or NAACP Legal Defense Fund
