Not sure what to say?

Dr. Coleman was a terrific mentor and teacher to me during my attendance at UAH and my work at the PRC. I will miss him greatly and have often used the Uncertainty analysis skills he taught me while working at NASA. So his legacy lives on through those of us that knew him. Godspeed Dr. Coleman!

Ann, so sorry to hear of Hugh's passing. We had such good times with you folks back in Livermore. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the boys.

Dr. Coleman may have gone from our sight, but never from our heart.

With my deepest sympathy

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dr. Coleman was my undergrad (MSU) and grad school (UAH) advisor. He was one of the kindest and most patient people I have come to know. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to him for his advice, counsel, and collaboration. He will be dearly missed.

He was always a pleasant friendly neighbor. I will miss Hugh and am sorry the loss to Anne and his family.

Hugh Coleman was the finest neighbor there ever was. He welcomed those who were far from home with warmth and food and an ever present smile. Carrie, Mike. Eloise, and Teddy are blessed to know you and we have your tomato seeds planted again this year.
