Coleman always had a special group of rescue dogs that followed his every move. When not outside, Coleman would likely have been found working through a Sudoku problem book. Coleman was an active member of The Palm Society and was intent on attracting and protecting the Monarch Butterflies.

Coleman was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Edith, and his siblings: Bessie, Emanuel, Florence, Sophie and Marilyn and his wife’s mother and father whom he loved very much: Carl Kenneth and Edna Earl Crews.
