Robert Coleman Obituary

Condolences to the Coleman family from the Murray/Hendricks family.

My mother Sonja Hendricks was married to him for 20 years. I knew him since I was 9 years old and lived with him through my teenage years. He was a very responsible, hard working man and loved things to be tidy and in order. Although we didn´t always get along, he taught me how to be more organized and clean which I appreciate. He was very into body building. Which I got into weight lifting and fitness partially because of him. I remember he and my mother going to the gym in uptown Bellevue. I think it was called the weight shed way back when. I wish things could gone differently in the end. I feel bad for the struggle he went through.

Bob aka Punky was my older bothers friend and we rode together to CHAMINADE high school. As someone else noted Punky and my brother would go dancing every week. However we lived on a farm and during the summer Punky and other high school mates would come out to the farm during the summer. These big tough guys couldn't handle the long work days or the air quality of farm work. I enjoyed following these guys and picked up a lot of questionable habits. I have a lot of good memories shared with Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. .

Rest in peace, my friend have fun memories of you

Bob was a really nice guy. I used to talk with him when he lived in Bellevue and worked for the City. Rest in peace Bob!

My deepest sympathy to Bob´s family. We all called him Punk. As a kid he was "Punky" to me.
I have many memories of him at our Grandma´s house on Jersey Street and later as teenagers dancing at the CYO dances. The girls all loved dancing with Punk. Great memories!
