To the Colman Family, you have my deepest sympathy. As a child in the sixties, I enjoyed watching Green Acres. As a teenager in the seventies, I enjoyed watching Hawaii 5'O, and as a young adult in the eighties, I enjoyed watching The Love Boat. Mr. Colman gave us superior entertainment. May God be with you during this difficult time.
