May God continue to bless and keep the family of Dr. Coleman in this time of grief. Dr. Colemon touched the lives of all who attended Lincoln University. His "Hail, Hail Lincoln" chants will never be forgotten. The legacy of Dr. Coleman will live on for years to come.

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

We will miss Dr. Coleman dearly. He was such a POSITIVE figure for ALL Lincoln Graduates and for African Americans as a whole. He taught us to be proud of our heritage as well as of our Alma Mateur. I really wish I took the time to personally get to know Dr. Coleman and let him know how much he meant to me as a student and as a leader.

My condolences go out to you and your family. You are the type of positive man I like to become. You helped guide the "Orange and Blue" to great fame. I hope I can have the same drive to do the same

Dr. Coleman, you were a man who led by example and thereby was an example to many. I am enriched from meeting you and appreciate all the time you spent helping other people. God has granted you your wings.

My condolences go out to the family and I pray that God comforts and keeps you at this difficult time. Know that the Lincoln Family also grieves with you. He was our "Mr. Lincoln" and without his guidance many of us would have never learned our Alma mater. He was always full of life and great spirits and he will truly be missed by all. Love and blessings always.

From the 18 Rebels: Dr. Coleman was an inspiration for all of us and without his help, our lives would not be as enriched as they are today. Because of Dr. Coleman, we were afforded the opportunity to forge friendships and share in so many great experiences. We are saddened by his entry into Omega Chapter, but proud that we share a common bond with him forever and honored to know that his legacy will live on in us, as well as other members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., BETA Chapter. We love you Dr. Frank Tick "All eyes on me" Coleman.
