Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Stanley “Dick” Coulson, will be missed greatly by people near and far who he has impacted or helped over his 72 years. Dick was always willing to help those in need and he had an impact on so many people in our community. Dick loved to play golf, pool, and fanasty football with his family. He holds the eight-time fanasty football champion title and would like to rub that in one more time.
After winning these games, and only winning, he would relax at home with his wife and his loyal champanion, Mocha. Dick was a husband, father, brother, papa and coach, and friend to many.
