COLEMAN DONALD JOSEPH, M.D. AG...
COLEMAN DONALD JOSEPH, M.D. Age 87, a Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst in Pittsburgh, passed away on October 8, 2014, following a lengthy illness. Born in Kansas City, MO, Dr. Coleman attended Rockhurst College, The University of Kansas and St. Louis University School of Medicine. In his last year of medical school, friends set him up on a blind date with Catherine (Cathy) Baine of St. Louis, with whom he ended up sharing 59 wonderful years of marriage. Don and Cathy, who later became an attorney in Pittsburgh, had two children, Mary Kate and Sean, both of Pittsburgh. Upon graduating from medical school, Don served as a Captain in the U.S. Army at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX. He and Cathy came to Pittsburgh in 1959 to complete Don's medical residency in Psychiatry at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. He served on the staff of the Institute and on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School through the early 70s, when he entered private practice. Teaching was always an important part of his life, and he treasured the Golden Apple award for Excellence in Teaching, awarded by the Pitt medical students in 1969, as well as his many years later in life serving as a Training Analyst at The Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center. He was predeceased by his parents, Bernard and Mabel of Kansas City; and by his brother, Robert of Louisville, KY. His family would like to thank his physician, Dr. Balikrishna Ragoor, as well as the doctors, nurses and staff at Manorcare (Monroeville), Forbes Hospital and LifeCare Hospital (Monroeville) for taking such good care of Don in the last years of his life.
