Richard Coleman died peacefully on November 11, 2019 of complications from Parkinson's Disease in Vero Beach, Florida.

Born in 1940, he was the son of Mary (McCullough) Coleman and Francis "Bill" Coleman. Dick graduated from Saint Thomas Moore High School, Temple University, and received a postgraduate degree from Eccles School of Mortuary Science. He worked as a funeral director for a number of years, was a sales representative for A.H. Robbins, and later was a seniors sales representative for a court reporting business. He served many years as secretary for the South Jersey Claims Association and was a fourth degree knight in the Knights of Columbus.

A humble and kind man, Dick devoted much of his time volunteering and helping others in need. In his younger years, he enjoyed his time as a Boy Scout leader and baseball coach and was a head cheerleader for his children who were involved in gymnastics, tennis, and motocross. He was a serious Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers sports fan.

Dick has left us all with beautiful memories of a man with a wonderful smile whose life was filled with quiet courage, a zest for life, unconditional love of family and friends, and above all, kindness towards those less fortunate than himself.

With that in mind, donations can be made in his name to your local food bank.

He is survived by his wife Judy Kerby Coleman; sons, Rick Coleman and Dan Coleman; daughter, Kathy Toth (Matt); step-children, Debbie Bochte, Carl Siglin, Kerby Siglin (Pam); brothers, Gerald Coleman and Robert Coleman; sister, Miriam Brown; grandchildren, Lexie, Drew, Michelle, Kate, Emma, Will, Drew, and Collin; and many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.

Services are scheduled for later in 2020 in Philadelphia.
