John W. Coates

My folks at the house on Foxcroft Road. . . Hard to believe. . .how time passes so quickly. . . All we can do is hold the memories. . .

In holding memories... Now 65 years later... I am at BrightLine Miami Central where we boarded a Florida East Coast passenger train back in the Spring of 1959 As long as we hold memories those we remember are always with us! Wes

My Dad is with me every day... with the lessons he shared with me Especially learning how to take photos And all all his "quip´s" Kathy & Wes

So sorry for your loss.
Jack and Joan Michael
Dave and Cathy Pugh

Marion,
Christine and I are thinking of you and are deeply sorry for your loss. Jack was a wonderful man.

Dear Marion, Wes and Kath, we are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Jack's interesting conversations and wonderful sense of humor. Our thoughts are will you. Love, Mary and Rick Buono

Aunt Marion, Wes and Kathy,
Uncle Jack was a great uncle to Pat and me, a great-great uncle to Katie and Chris, but the greatest uncle to all of us. We will miss his wit and wisdom, his mastery at anything he took on and his genuine kindness to all whose lives his touched. We are blessed to be part of his and your family.

Dear Mrs. Coates, Wes, and Kathy,
We were sorry to read of Mr. Coates' death. We know Mr. Coates is at peace with the Lord and this should give comfort to all of us. We are grateful he left a son that is able to carry the rail legacy forward. Sincerely, Thom & Karen Coates

A real true Gentle man!
