Coy never failed to to make us laugh. You couldn’t help but smile when you saw him coming. As a young couple he would give my husband something to work on so we could by milk and bread. He will be missed by us and the entire community. Prayers for Charlotte, Anne, Mike, and family/ families. Good men don’t die. They live in the hearts of everyone they have touched. Much Love.
