Charles Rempson Coleman Jr.

Albany, New York---Charles Rempson Coleman Jr., 79, passed away on Thursday, September 12, 2019 after battling a long illness. He had resided at Laurel Lakes Nursing Home in Lee, Massachusetts for the last 12 years.

He began his life on July 23, 1940 in Hudson, New York. He was born to the late Martha (Thompson) and Charles Coleman Sr. He was the fourth of seven children, educated in Albany, NY and employed and retired from General Electric in Schenectady, NY.

It is well known that Charles has a love for cars. He maintained his cars to the point of being immaculate, like clockwork, every weekend. He also took great pride in his dress attire… never to be seen in jeans or sneakers. He was simply a "sharp dresser!"

When he was indoors, he enjoyed watching TV and catching any "Western" show that happened to be on TV.

Charles was a very sociable person, who loved to listen to music and just have a good time.

Charles now leaves us to make the immediate Coleman family complete in eternal peace.

He was preceded in death by both parents, Martha and Charles Coleman Sr. and his six siblings: Dorothy Johnson, Edith Dixon, Joan Bickley, Matthew, Joseph and Robert Coleman.

He leaves to mourn his passing, four children: Charmain Johnson, Charles Coleman III, Rena Harrell, James Harrell; ex-wife and loving friend, Brenda Coleman; one aunt, Elizabeth Coleman; 13 grandchildren, one great grandchild, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
