My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of the late Cleo P. Coles, a courageous and determined person who made many unforgettable contributions to society.
His attributes live on in his family, particularly his son Julius, whom I have known for a number of years. As a U.S. Foreign Service Officer who served with distinction and rose to the highest levels of accomplishments, Julius consistently emulated the family values and virtues that were instilled in him. Throughout his career he has steadily mentored, shared experiences, and guided the careers of many young people who are success stories today.
I know that in spirit, my late husband, T.M. Alexander, Sr. joins me in extending our prayers to the Coles family. Mr. Coles left a strong legacy that will be well remembered and cherished.

I am a professional colleague and friend of Julius Coles. Over the years, we spent considerable time talking about our families, values, and upbrining.
It was clear Julius came from a nurturing and loving home. The love for his parents and the family legacy are carried on because of the strength given to him by the entire family.
Please accept my condolences and prayers. I also thank Mr. and Mrs. Coles for giving the world Julius. He creates nurturing environments for thousands around the world.

Please accept my heartfelt condoleances. While I have never met Cleo P. Coles, it has been my great pleasure to know and develop a professional relationship with his sons, particularly Julius. He clearly served as a stellar role model for his children who have already devoted an exceptional amount of time to improving the lives of the less fortunate in the world in which we live. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of great loss.
