James W. Coleman, 81, of Hershey, passed away Friday, December 19, 2014, in the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

After serving in the Korean War, "Red" moved to Hershey to work as a bellman at The Hotel Hershey and met the love of his life, the late Dorothy (Mann) Coleman, whom he married on May 14, 1960.

Forever proud of his Irish heritage, "Pop-Pop" will be remembered for his warm smile, sense of humor, and loving nature towards all. Truly the "Mayor of Hershey," he was known fondly by most everyone around town.
