Robert "Bob" Reynolds Coleman, 75, of Hampstead passed from his earthly life to his Heavenly home on Thursday, February 16, 2017 at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

During Bob's early years he worked hard to provide for his family as a commercial fisherman. He retired from Pender County as a heavy equipment operator and as an Animal Control Officer with 26 years of service.

Bob dearly loved his family and his countless number of friends. His jovial personality and great sense of humor brought joy and smiles to everyone he met. Fishing off his dock and watching the boats go by in the Hampstead waterway were favorite pastimes for Bob. He loved everything about Coastal Living. Bob had a great love for all of God's creatures as he had many pets throughout his lifetime.

Bob's family is grateful to God for his life and they consider themselves blessed to have had such a wonderful daddy, granddaddy and uncle.
