Richie & John deepest sympathy.

I was 8 yrs old when I met your father as my little league coach. I still remember him saying to me "you look like a catcher let's try you there" and that's where I played for many years. I learned a lot about baseball from your dad as he was my first coach.

I am presently coaching the North Colonie 8 yr old All-Stars and am invovled in a tourney this week.

A few years ago I saw your Dad at Westland Hills Little League and he remembered me.



Mr. Coleman was a great coach and teacher of baseball.



God Bless Him!
