Passing of Doug Coleman

[Dick Brown]

Henry          One of the great past athletes in Franklin County passed away on Wednesday . As I read his obituary , I remembered how gifted he was in the team sports played at Swanton High School and how much our kids on BFA teams during that era enjoyed playing against him . He was also a terrific individual golfer and earned a strong reputation for his excellent presence in that sport .
I never really knew him as a person , but always knew that whatever sport he competed in , he would be the difference-maker and I know that Joe Fiarkowski certainly made he and Butch Thompson the centerpieces of sports programs at SHS .
He will be missed .
