William Eccles Coit M.D.

You are loved and sorely missed. Always

When my step-father was ill in England I couldn't get a straight answer from the doctors regarding just how sick he was. Eventually I decided to call Bill to get his opinion. At first he was reluctant to discuss it, but with a bit of encouragement he eventually told me that bearing in mind what I DID know, he was probably coming to the end of his life. I have always been so grateful for his honesty.

Life is fleeting, but you are remembered.

I didn't know you, Billy, but I've sat and communed at your lovely memorial in the cemetery a few times, and imagined what a renaissance and beloved man you might have been. The pumpkins on the bench I saw as a gesture of love. Thanks to your family for the lovely memorial that inspires me who didn't ever meet any of you.

Holly and family, I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Coit's passing. I used to work in the file room and babysit for you as well. I have so many fond memories of him and really appreciated his sense of humor! You were such a wonderful family to babysit for, as you could feel the love you had for one another. I send my love to you all.

Sympathies to Holly and family, god bless Billy

Holly, I saw the obit. and am so sorry for your loss.
You are in my prayers.

He was truly one of the good ones, and will be sorely missed.

Sincerely,

Fleeper

Billy - You were the only guy cool enough to end up with my brother's entire collection of Mad magazines, and while I understand that heaven may be in need of a fantastic band major, a prankster with a twinkle in his eyes and an all around bon vivant, the world is certainly a duller and less colorful place without you. My heart goes out to the Coit family.
