Tony was born in Charleston, SC, a son of the late James C. Coleman and Peggy Patterson Coleman. He was a co-owner and operator of Carolina Towing, and a member of the Towing & Recovery Association. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, spending time in the low country, and spending time on the farm raising animals with his granddaughter Eleanor, but his greatest joy in life was spending every day with his grandchildren, who better knew him as "Gan Gan."
