"Ormand Beach - Donald T. Coleman, 82, of Ormand Beach, Florida, joined his parents with the Lord on December 7, 2021. A kind, generous, giving man who enjoyed driving and seeing the country, he often stopped by people's homes for a cup of coffee and to chat. Don was an avid sports fan, the biggest Buffalo Bill's fan, known in the '90s for taking anyone who had a ticket and wanted to go to the game in his RV to tailgate in the parking lot of Ralph Wilson Stadium. Some favorite pastimes of Don's were attending and working as a security guard for the Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York, and Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Atlanta Braves Baseball team and Atlanta Falcons Football team. Watching live sports was a passion of Donny Coleman's. Born on February 13, 1939, he was the son of the late Howard and Frances Coleman. Don grew up on a dairy farm in Almond, New York. He graduated from Alfred-Almond School in 1956, attended Alfred Ag. Tech, and was an Army MP for two years at Fort Hood, Texas. Afterward, he worked for the New York Department of Transportation as a Soils Drill Supervisor. He also partnered with his father to run the family dairy farm, Coland Farm, in Karr Valley and was an active member of the Alleghany-Steuben Holstein Club. During the '80s, he was the Exalted Ruler of the Hornell B.P.O. Elks Lodge and continued to be an active member of the Elks, American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Recently, he enjoyed walking the beach in Florida, volunteering as a Eucharistic minister at Advent Health Hospital, attending high school football, basketball, and his grandkid's games, and spending time with his life partner, Glenda, and family."
