Cole was so fortunate to have been born in Washington, DC. His birthplace allowed him to be near his great grandpa Roger who lived in Maryland. Cole got to spend time with Roger several times before our move to Minnesota. We have several photos of them together. Cole was just shy of a month old in this picture taken on New Year's Eve of 2006.
Cole's middle name is Roger in honor of Dave's beloved grandfather. Roger will be sadly missed but leaves many memories for us of a wonderful man and times spent at "The Coleson Crick". Roger left a legacy behind for his great grandson and we will be sure that Cole learns much about him.
Roger "Buzz" David Coleson, 88, of Nanjemoy, MD passed away at his Home on Monday, September 15, 2008. He is predeceased by his Parents; Emmett Coleson and Florence Wendt Coleson. He is survived by his Wife; Margie M. Coleson, Son; Mark D. Coleson of Arlington, VA, Daughter; Susan Lee Coleson-Fox of Seal Rock, Oregon, Sister; Leone Reed of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and 6 Grandchildren, and 5 Great Grandchildren. Buzz Coleson was a Veteran of WWII with the United States Air Force as a Pilot and retired from the United States Air Force after 30 years of service to his Country. He was a member of the "Greatest Generation". There will be a Memorial Graveside Service for Buzz Coleson on Monday, December 1, 2008 at Arlington National Cemetery at 3 pm.
