Arthur Arnold Coleman passed away on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 peacefully surrounded by his family.

Born in Natick, Mass., Art was a graduate of Natick High School and Wentworth Institute of Technology where he studied facilities engineering. During his career he held various roles in Facilities Management for Quincy Cold Storage, Morgan Construction Company, Beacon Communications and the Auburn Public School System.

In retirement he and his wife Barrie moved to Scenery Hill, and opened “G.G.Gundies” gift shop until 2014.

Artie was always involved in his community and served as a member of the Auburn Rotary Club, Junior Woodchucks, Auburn Sportsman’s Club, Scenery Hill Light Committee, and the Scenery Hill Civic Association.

Art was a fan of all sports. As a young man he played football, basketball, hockey, and golf, of which he continued throughout his life making many dear friends on the course.

Other hobbies included hunting and all types of fishing, He was known for a quick laugh and a good pun. He loved jokes and a surprise “schnooker” on a friend. He showed his love by cooking – for friends and family. Pancakes, London broil, toad-in-the- hole, and chili were his specialties and became common requests of his grandchildren. He was a valiant protector of his family and friends,

He is predeceased by the love of his life, Barrie, who passed away in January of this year. We know he just couldn’t be without his girl. Their love story started in their junior year of high school and lasted through their 50 years of marriage.

Art is also predeceased by his parents, Estelle and Sherwood; sister, Karen and her husband Pau; and niece, Jessica.

He is survived by his daughters, Deryn (Nate) and Ashley (Rich); sister-in-law, Laurie; grandkids, Haley, Jake, Jacob, Emma, Kalliyan, Millaney and Owen; and great-grandson, Carter. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews whom he adored as well as extended family and friends.
