THOMAS P. COLEMAN JR
UNITED STATES COAST GUARD VETERAN

Thomas P. Coleman Jr. Of Malden, passed on April 21, 2022. Beloved oldest son of Jeanette Coleman and Thomas P. Coleman. Loving brother of five siblings. Tommy was predeceased by his younger brother, Paul Coleman. He was the loving godfather to his niece and nephew. He was the loving uncle of 16 nieces and nephews. Tommy grew up in Malden on Clinton Street and spent many days with his 26 first cousins the Wrights, Colemans and the Dunlevys.

He graduated from Malden High School and received his Bachelor's degree from University of Massachusetts Boston, and he continued his education at Harvard Extension Business School. To say Tommy was a bookworm would be an understatement. He had over 10,000 books in his home, many he had read over 3-4 times each. You could not enter Tommy's home or apartment without finding a pile of books on the couch he was currently reading.

He dedicated most of his life to being a constant companion to his mother. He enjoyed his coffee, his books, his walks around Boston, his trips to Wholefoods and his time working for the last 38 years at the Veterans Affairs and his many friends there. Tommy loved his relaxing quiet time at Lake Winnipesaukee and could often be seen riding his bike up Pleasant Street in Meredith. He watched and he paid attention to details, he had such a charming funny side to him that was so wonderful to watch with all his nephews and nieces.

He was a wealth of knowledge and loved to share with you his travels from his time in the Coast Guard. Tommy served 6 years in the United States Coast Guard. He has left a legacy with his family, and they will forever miss his one liners as you walked in the door to visit him.

Arrangements: Breslin Funeral Home, Malden.
Funeral Mass celebrated at Immaculate Conception Church, Malden.
Interment: Forest Dale Cemetery in Malden.
