Bill Coleman, age 86, of Cynthiana, Kentucky, formally of Blair Town, Pike County, Kentucky, passed away on Sunday, February 6, 2022. He was born on September 9, 1935, to Glen and Viva Justice Coleman. He was one of 11 children. He was a follower of Jesus Christ and lived his life as a man who knew the love, grace and peace of God. Bill retired from Mine Safety and Health Administration. He worked diligently to provide a wonderful life for his family. He had a gift for making people feel welcome and always had a funny saying or joke ready to bring a smile. Besides traveling with his wife, Negotha, or camping with his grandchildren, Bill enjoyed working his fruit orchard, gardening and the company of his family and friends.
