Notes: Julie Clear was one of the first people in this branch of the Clear family tree to study our genealogy. She zealously chronicled our ancestors, took copious notes, collected photographs, and recorded the recollections of family members. She also memorialized her own memories in a series of typewritten pages, some of which was aptly titled 'Random Clear Memories'. |

Notes on Robert Allen Coleman: |
| |
Robert A. 'Bobby' Coleman served in the U.S. Marine Corp from May 1972 through May 1975, ending with the rank of Corporal. Following his basic training in San Diego, California, he was stationed at Fort Gordon, Georgia, and Cherry Point, North Carolina. |
| |
Bobby and his first wife Lupe had a son, John Allan Coleman. He was born in 1973 at the Marine Base at Cherry Point, North Carolina. He weighed 4 pounds, 5 ounces. |
| |
Bobby's second wife Anne already had a daughter named Cori Anne Ketchum. Anne had Cori's name changed to Coleman in January of 1981, but Bob did not formally adopt her. Bob and Anne did have one child together: Emily Elyse Coleman. She was born in 1980, and weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces. |
| |
Robert was killed in an auto accident on November 27, 1980, at Sloan and M13 roads, Saginaw County, Michigan. David Allen Cook, the driver of the truck that hit Bob, lived just a mile from Robert's house. |

Memory of Bobby Coleman's death, as recounted by his mother, Julie Clear: |
| |
Bob had taken his son Johnny to Lupe's mother in Saginaw. He was on his way to our house to have Thanksgiving dinner with us. It was a bad snowy morning with icy roads. David Cook, his wife, and 7 year old son were on their way to Saginaw to see his father, who was in the hospital. Just as they met, David's truck fishtailed and struck Bob's car, throwing him into the ditch. His car flipped over the driveway. They had to use the jaws of life to get him out of the car. This happened at about 10:30 in the morning. We were not notified until nearly 5:00 pm, after he died. Anne was in Ireland. The people in the trailer park knew about it at noon. I don't think it was handled the way it should have been. There was only about four Coleman's in the Chesaning phone book.
We put the headstones on Bob's grave and for us on our lot, Number 186, in July of 1981.
