DONALD McCOY

After all of these years since your passing away, I still miss you so very much. I miss the tons of visits, the perhaps hundreds of meals we shared& then the countless bridge games with my folks, whom I still miss to my core. You were like family, my second mom & dad. Always a barrel of fun. The shared pieces of fresh veggies & fruit of your beautiful garden. Folks I Always looked up to. They just don't make like that anymore. You & Norene will forever be in my heart.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I was proud to be his friend. A Navy veteran and master armorer nationally known for his MI Garands. He always had time to help me with my gun projects and I would be remiss not to mention his wife Noreen. I was honored to aid him in his passing. TC Farrell MD Captain MC USN

It is men like Donald McCoy, who helped to keep our military strong and sharp, and our nation great and safe. Truly a model of what an American should be like.

We will miss you Mac. It has been an honor to know you and to shoot your M1 Garand Rifles. Jim Adell

The shooting world will miss you. I remember talking to you many times while I was stationed in San Diego with the NAS North Island team. Rest in Peace.

Fair winds and following seas shipmate. Don McCoy you were larger than life and completely humble. My favorite memory of you was at my Change of Command Ceremony. I had Captains and even an Admiral there....but an old retired Chief was the man that everyone wanted to talk to and be photographed with...I treasure my memories of you. You will be missed but an entire new generation will remember you. Rest in Peace You will be remembered always at the Church of the 600 Yard Line.

I was a doctor at U S Navy Hospital, San Diego, and met Mac at the Small Arms Training Unit. He built my first M1 and, later, another for my son. Both were re-barrelled a few times. Both of us got Distinguished. I believe those rifles could hold the X ring at 600 yds, but the shooter couldn't. What a talent he was. In addition, he was a nice person to be around and a friend.

The many times my husband called to talk with Don he never turned him away from conversation. Always had his door open. I will never forget going out to CA on our honeymoon and visiting with Don and his wife. He asked me if I would like a glass of water and in return got a scotch and water. Thank you for your service Don and your heart. You have touched so many hearts around the world and you will be trully missed by all of us. Rest in pease. Again thank you for your dedication to serve!

Mac was a wonderful neighbor and friend. His lessons in gardening , suduko and friendship will always be with us. I will remember and pass along the many wonderful stories of his and Norene's life together. Missing you terribly. Love ya Mac. Rocky & Roland
