Coy Yancey

Coy symbolised all that was best about the American character...warm, open, honest and unpretentious. I will always treasure the memories of the wonderful times I spent with the family on my visits from the UK.

We are really going to miss Coy at the dances. He always had a smile and a cheerful word for everyone.

We are given the gift of life,
By the Father up above.
Walking day to day,
In the presence of His love.
We ask our Heavenly Father,
To show us day to day,
How to live our life on earth,
To please Him in every way.
When our life on earth is done,
Then our Heavenly Father above,
Will take us to His Ivory Palace,
To live eternally, in the presence of His love.
We must trust our Heavenly Father,
When He takes our loved ones...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family - sorry to hear of your loss.

We will miss Coy at the square dances. It was a pleasure knowing him.

I met Coy while learning to square dance. He was a real gentleman and eager to help. Instead of criticizing he was always able to get me back on track and keep the square moving in the right direction. Coy was always courteous and helpful and will be sadly missed by his many personal and square dance friends.

I haven't known Coy for very long but I certainly hope that, where he is now, everything is "smashing."

Coy was my letter carrier prior to his retirement and a co-worker as I am a soon to be retired clerk at the Mesa post office. He was so loved on his route and many of his customers have passed away, the old neighborhood has changed drastically since his retirement. I can still see him on his bicycle and my heart is with his family at this difficult time.
