DAVID BAKER COLMAN

MIDDLEBURY — David Baker Colman died May 29, 2025, at his home in Middlebury, Vt. His heart and not the cancer got him as he suspected it might.

He is survived by David Clark, his husband of 42 years.

He was born Sept. 4, 1939, in Catasauqua, Pa., to Samuel and Ann Dickson Colman. He graduated from Drew University and Princeton Theological Seminary with further study at the University of Edinburgh. He worked 25 years as a pastor in Presbyterian churches outside Detroit, Mich., in Swarthmore and Doylestown, Pa., and in Baltimore, Md.

In 1989, he became marketing director of Wake Robin Corporation in Shelburne, Vt., and in 1993 was appointed President and CEO.

David’s interests included travel, reading, and everyone around him.

Acceding to his preference, there will be no memorial service. He was that kind of guy. ◊
