Not sure what to say?

I lived across Oak Rd from Coleman and my twin Jessie and Neighbor John enjoyed Colman and his pup clever Clover. We did our best to look after him. He is missed

My Dad was the calm in the storm, a home body, and also quite the adventurer.
I remember one winter in the mid-1970's we were returning from a visit with my aunt/uncle (Kenny and Shirley) who built a house east of Elmore's Store. We were in our 1970's Jeep Commander.

Coleman was a great neighbor back in the day, a nice man & intersting personality. His dog, Clover, was BFF with our dog as well. Be at peace.

Coleman could always make a joke about any situation or person. He loved going to lake Powell, and would tell stories about blowing up cans of corn in the fire. Always young at heart and ornery.

I’ll miss my Dad, Durango won’t be the same with out him. He made friends with everybody and was a fixture at the Durango dinner for years. He loved his job with Parks and recreation. I’ll miss his quick wit and constant jokes. Goodbye Dad, I’ll miss you

We had great fun growing up and would usually get in trouble whenever
They would come to visit.

I will always have the memory of our car trip to Durango. The stories and your victory over the window. I love and miss you

Coleman worked for the Durango Silverton trains when I was married. We celebrated by riding the train. He was the ticket collector that day. He got part of our trip refunded and gave us our tickets back as mementoes. There are a few other memories, however, that one is the best.
