Not sure what to say?

Hank was one of my angels while living in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Salut lartiste. Tu vas nous manquer

Coach, I didn't meet you until the early 90s when you came out to Byrd Park. You and I were one of the best doubles teams out there. You were one of the most incredible people I've ever met and you shared so much knowledge with me. You will be missed. Rest easy

Some of my earliest memories revolved around the excitement the McCoys, my next-door neighbors, felt and expressed when "JUNIOR" was coming home, and I was allowed to share in their joy!!
Those were the days when neighbors became family and looked out for one another! Farewell "jitterbug" (If you knew Mr. Henry McCoy, you know what that means!!)

In loving memory of Henry "Hank" McCoy. You were surely loved, and will be missed. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful memories, and great mentoring from my childhood to adulthood. Thank you so much. You are in Gods care now. We will see one another again, one day my friend. In Jesus name.


Mr. Elisha "Butch" Howerton

I had the good fortune of spending many hours on the tennis courts around Richmond and playing tournaments together in and out of state, for example, the ATA Nationals. I always walked away with a tennis improvement lesson and a life encouragement lesson as well. Hank was an outstanding gentleman and a great friend. My wife, Jean, and I will sadly miss him.

Thank you for all you done for me & my son Rocky Clay , Im going to miss you very much , Rest In Peace , Thanks for everything

I was a good friend of your sister Henrietta . She took me once to meet your father.
I also met you when you used to come to the campus to play sports ,
Deepest sympathy to your family.
