To Uncle Bob's family our condolences and prayers for peace and comfort during this time of sorrow. I will remember him from the first race I saw him in as a small boy to lighting my racing spirit. When I would come home to visit my family he would always come by to catch up and do a little bench racing with me. I appreciated that so much. So, Bob, Thank you. I will miss you. Race with the greats. RIP

Deepest Sympathy to Aunt Connie, Mike, Roger, Scott and families. Uncle Bob was big as life. He embraced it and loved his family. He is the last of the Oscar Coe Sr. boys and there was a reason. God new we needed his big shoulders to lean on, and now...it's time for eternal rest. Love you all, and we all loved Uncle Bob. God's peace always - Debbie, Frank, Trent, Tori, Stacy, and Juan.

Just heard of Bob's passing from my brother. My father, Butch Ashley, and Bob were very close back in the day. A couple of years ago Bob was kind enough to send me some pictures of the racing days with my father. He also threw in a Coe Heating & Air refrigerator magnet. Gotta remember to do a little marketing (LOL). So sorry for your loss. He was a great man.

P.S. The magnet is still on the refrigerator.
