Sad day. We'll miss you Mickey.
I am..........disturbed.

We are greatly diminished. One of the finest, most genuine people I've had the privilege to call a friend.
RIP Mickey, I know you're in a better place.

The Campfire will be a poorer place with this loss. Prayers on the way for his family. Amen. I had the pleasure of staying with Mickey for a couple of days several years ago. A finer gentleman you could not ask for. I learned more about building fine rifles and great 40's music in two days than I thought possible. His canine companions will certainly be mourning him, as well. My prayers go out to Dorothy and the rest of his family. Ed

I just got off the phone with his son Michael. The family has requested that in lieu of any flowers or gifts, that we make a donation in his name to a non-profit charity that was near and dear to his heart.... http://www.hopeinspiredministries.org/Hope Inspired Ministries PO Box 1103 Montgomery AL 36101 Michael will be texting me pictures of Mickey's Dog's as it would be a lot of help to the family if they could get some assistance in rehoming them.

Goodbye to a gentle soul and one I could call "friend".

Just saw this out. I will be observing silence for a spell. Mr.Coleman was the best.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

This sad news smacks hard.
Mickey was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed.

Man this just does not seem right. He and I had a lot of fun banter on the purchase of his BGE.
RIP Mickey and Godspeed healing to all your friends and extended family.
This one makes a grown man want to cry.

My only contact with him was here on the Fire. I'm shocked to hear of his passing.
From his posts, he seemed to be a man who had a solid relationship with his Maker. He had a wise word for most any situation.
He will be missed.

If anybody gets any details about funeral arrangements, please post em... His son Michael said it will be a small family gathering to spread his ashes over the range he built at his home...

Prayers going out for Dorothy. This is tough news, but a week before Christmas........

I never met him in person, but his compassion for dogs, and passion for craftsmanship and service spoke volumes of his character.
RIP Mr. Coleman.
