Mr. Coyne,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S Army during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry I missed the wake. I didn't think it would be Monday. I had to work both jobs with very little time in between. I didn't want to be rushed and found out last minute. I hope Joe was given a great goodbye.

My memories of Joe go back a long way being shared with his lifetime friend Tom "Stogie" Cooney. He was a fixture at the DYC with cigar in hand and straw hat atop his head. He will be missed. May good memories remain in your hearts forever. My condolences.

My Grampie, Tom and his brother Joe had the same "Southie" attitude. They had hard exteriors but deep down were both family men, protective and devoted. My mother, Laura and I were deeply saddened by Uncle Joe's passing. He is in our hearts and prayers always.

I met Mr. Coyne at the Carney Hospital. His rough around the edges attitude reminded me so much on my Grandfather it was hard not to like him. Hearing of his passing was very sad as I am sure there were a ton more stories for him to tell me. My condolences to the family.
