Carl Allen Coleman or Al to most people passed away April 21, 2013. He was raised in Westport and Astoria Oregon and picked beans on the family farm and the neighbors’ farms. He and the other kids liked to swim in the river when they were supposed to be working. He spent time in the National Guard and worked as a logger in Oregon before moving to Lincoln in 1961 where he met his wife Beverly Didriksen.
He worked as a core driller for Boyles Brothers Drilling, but he really loved driving log truck. Following a bad truck accident he took care of his wife and Bob and Evelyn Didriksen. He enjoyed playing softball, fishing, water skiing, and snow skiing.
He is survived by his sons Jeff and Carol Coleman of Whitehall, Montana and Doug Coleman of San Jose, California and cousins in Oregon. He was preceded in death by his Wife Beverly, father Ernest, his mother Maxine, and in-laws Bob & Evelyn Didriksen.
His wish was to not have a memorial service as he didn’t want people to go out of their way for him. For those that wish to honor him the family asks you make a donation to the St. Peters Cancer Treatment Center, 2475 Broadway, Helena, MT 59601.
