Mr.Colman was a dear friend respectable honest and full.of life. Wonderful family man. Honorable loved treated people right. Will be missed and his legacy will continue on.

Rest on Mr. Coleman, I hope to meet you in Jehovah's new order when sick ess and death will no longer be

To the family, we send our deepest condolences. I can’t remember a time, even from my earliest memories, when Buddy would visit and not come to our home to see Charlie and Carrie Lee. He always greeted me with the biggest smile whenever I saw him. To my family, you are always in my prayers.

I considered myself fortunate to have had a years-long relationship with Willie “Major” Coleman. We had hundreds of confrontational issues to deal with during our track time together, and we never concluded a single case, coming away angry with one another. I will never know another human being in this life that I respected more than Willie. When he gave me his word about something, it was gospel, and I never had to worry about him backtracking, even when his bosses disagreed with the decision.
On occasion, after we resolved a particularly tough problem together, we would close the door and enjoy a taste of Crown, the favorite of both of us. He often spoke of his bride, Mary Helen, and how fortunate he was to share his life with her.
He could never completely walk away from the MJC, no matter how many times he tried, because his work was never done.
Theoretically, we were supposed to be natural enemies, the Union Man vs. the Management Man, but it wasn’t Willie’s nature to be an enemy to anyone.
Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing this man, are richer for having had the honor of doing so……it’s God’s turn now, to enjoy Willie, and spend eternity with a gentleman who is as great a man as he has ever created.
Godspeed my friend, you will be greatly missed !
