Robert E. McCoy

Dr McCoy saved my left leg back in 1969. I was in the hospital for 7 months. I had 2 compound fractures below the knee and my femur was broken and shoved back through my hip socket.56 years later I still have my left leg ,thanks to Robert.

I was honored to have Bob as a fellow resident in orthopaedics. He was a great one. Reg Cooper

He was a great orthopaedic resident mate! I think of him often. Reg Cooper

I came to know Bob and Bonnie McCoy through my past work as Executive Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. Bob's contributions to the preservation of Wright's work and Prairie architecture are enormous. He, Ann MacGregor and the wonderful people of Mason City are heroes for what they accomplished together for the Park Inn, the Stockman House and Rock Glen. And Bob was a true leader of those efforts in so many ways. Knowing him meant experiencing his bedrock decency,...

We were very sad to hear of Bob McCoy's death. We came to Mason City in 1978, to join the Orthopedic Department of the Surgical Associates. Bob was one of my senior partners who welcomed us to Mason City, and he became a mentor for my new Orthopedic Surgery practice. Bob and his wife Bonnie introduced us to Mason City, hosted us in their home for dinners, took us sailing on Clear Lake, and they became close friends. Bob had multiple interests in life as his obituary details well. Bob...

I am so sad to hear about Bob. He and I were resident mates in Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Iowa. He and his dear wife remained friends with my family over the years. We visited him in Mason City, and I often talked with him about his interest in prairie homes. Bob was an outstanding doctor who saw that his patients received excellent care. He related in a friendly manner to all of those with whom he came in contact. I trust that God gave him an easy passage from this life to the...

The celebration of life will be at 11:00 am at the First Presbyterian Church in Mason City on October 30th.

So sad to hear about Bob's passing. I only got to work with Bob for a very short time during the infancy of WOTP, but found him to be a great man in so many ways. He taught me a lot, in preservation, history, and of course architecture and FLW. All of which I likely would have never known without the brief but awarding time we got to work together. He will be missed by many.

My most sincere condolences to the entire McCoy family. Dr. McCoy and Bonnie, in their own way, introduced me to the world of Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Burley Griffin, Marion Mahony Griffin, and their architectural visions. May our Stillspeaking God comfort and sustain you during the coming days and weeks...
