Austin Coates

The man who was known for telling Capitol Hill politicians "I talk to
God everyday, why can't I talk to you?" passed away yesterday at 4 A.M.
on Easter morning. Austin M. Coates, Jr., the founder and Chairman of
United Rail Passenger Alliance, Inc., was 74 years old when he died on
Sunday, April 8, 2007 in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
In addition to being a devoted friend to many, and a true southern
gentleman in every sense of the word, he was a hard fighter for what he
believed in and wasn't afraid to challenge or debate anyone about causes
he fought for, including the betterment of passenger rail in the United
States.

He lead the great fight and his legacy will continue
