John Coleman

This is a good man who should never be forgotten. His integrity, intellect, and class present him brighter than ever in the memories of those of us who knew him.

As we look back on the life of John Coleman, his stature is even greater. His life is an example for us all of how to live a good life. We know how much he is missed by his family and friends, and we salute him once again.

My Condolences goes out to the Coleman Family during this time! Mr. John Coleman JR. was a great man that kept a smile on my face when I worked with him!

I had the pleasure of working with John when he was an attorney for the Diocese of Birmingham. He handled labor relations issues. I found John to be professional, knowledgeable and a great person to know. He will missed. Fran Lawlor

God bless you all in this difficult time. Your family is your strength. Your Dad was proud of you and took comfort in his final years knowing that he was leaving behind a legacy of decency, commitment, loyalty, hard work and faith.

To the Coleman family, sorry for your loss. Words can't erase the pain you feel right now so I will leave you this scriptural thought Psalms 94:19 When anxieties overwhelmed me, you comforted me. That is what God will do for you all. Remember that there is no correct way to grieve and each grieve differently so be patient with yourself and other. Pray for things to do that will help you soothe your pain.

Above all, John was a good man, never concerned about his own personal interest but reaching out to others. He was a powerful intellect, an outstanding lawyer, a born leader, a philosopher, a treasured friend to all who knew him. Those of us who knew him well had a ready example before us of fairness, balance, intelligence, and grace, and we are all the better for having known him.

Offering condolences to the Coleman family. May God's loving mercy give you the strength you need to endure the days ahead. Have faith John 6:40
