Dear Lynn and family,
Buddy Coleman has always been an inspiration and encourager to me. I will never forget his loyal support and heart-felt friendship. Buddy was a world class entrepreneur but always had the common touch. I remember going to his barn to make political signs. He could have had someone else do it but he wanted to make them personally with his own hands and skill.
Buddy had a wonderful heart and spirit who would do anything for his family and friends. Susan and I have been blessed to know Buddy and to be the beneficiary of his love and friendship. I would never have been in Congress or elected Governor without Buddy Coleman. Blessings to Lynn and the entire family.
Asa and Susan Hutchinson
Rausch-Coleman has always supported our community and we are very sorry for your loss.
