James L. McCoy Jr.

To each and every one of you a very heartfelt sympathy. Today is Christmas and I'm always reminded of my Christmas' in Florida. Jim always comes to mind because he was always so wonderful to my family. Even after I moved from there, at least for the first few years, he would take time to call or send little notes to me. I loved him dearly and attribute much of my Christian growth to him and his influence during high school and beyond. I have missed him for a long time and will always miss him...

To Sue and all of Jim's family,
Steve and I were sad to hear of Jim's death. But what a comfort to know beyond a doubt that he is with the Lord now. Think he's telling those corny jokes in heaven?
We have so many wonderful memoroies of him at Suncoast, church, and at home. He had a Christian influence on us and countless others. We were blessed to have had the privelege of sharing a part of our lives with him.

Larry and I were saddened to hear of Mr. McCoy's death. We thought a lot of him. He helped Wade to get his first job at Publix when Wade was in high school!
His humor was wonderful, and his work as an educator was admirable to all who knew him.
May God Bless you all.

Jennifer and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am also sorry I never got to meet such a great man. I know from all the stories and your love of him that he touched many lives. I hope that God will give you and your family peace as you struggle to live without him on this earth. Remember though, you will see him again in Glory! May God Bless you and your family. Love, Rebecca, Michael, Kelsey, & Brother!

I will always remember the times at Riviera High and then Sucoast. Jim was a special man and fairness always ruled. He always saw the good in everyone even when his patience was streched to the limit. He was a good and true friend. May he find eternal peace. He will be missed.
Jim and Jeani

Jimi & family,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He was a wonderful person and mentor. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest now in peace.

I was so saddened to hear of Jim's death. I always remember him being so active when we were all members of Lighthouse Baptist Church and such a wonderful leader for all of us "teenagers." My heart felt sympathies go out to all of the family. Kathy LaFoy

May the peace of God rest rule and abide with all the family and friends of Dean McCoy. I had the pleasure to know Mr. McCoy during 1971-1975 @ Suncoast High School. During a volatile and tensed period, it was Mr. McCoy who showed me fairness, and understanding. I always had a big: HEY MR. MCCOY for him. He was just a good man.

May God Bless you all, In Jesus Name. Amen.

I was sad to here about the death of "Mr. McCoy". I have some wonderful memories, especially the times my youth group hung out at his house after church on Sundays. We enjoyed his hospitality, and he always made us feel welcomed. My mother, sister and the Camp family members are saddend to learn of his passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
