Harold "Junior" McCoy

1925 - 2022

Harold Junior McCoy, age 96, of Xenia formerly of New Burlington, passed away on July 25, 2022. Harold was born October 4, 1925, the son of Harold Raymond and Pauline Webster McCoy.

Harold — "Junior" to many who knew him — was a Navy veteran of WWII and retired from the US Postal Service after nearly 40 years, carrying mail in the New Burlington area. He had a perfect driving record for over 75 years, of which he was very proud.

He was active in many groups and organizations including the Spring Valley Lions Club, of which he was a charter member; Spring Valley and Xenia Senior Citizens; a 17-time Past Patron of the Miami Chapter Order of the Eastern Star; Past Master of the New Burlington Masonic Lodge #574; and member of New Burlington Community Church. He also attended the Church of the Nazarene in Xenia.

In his younger days, he was an avid trap shooter and bowler. Recently, he has enjoyed playing euchre with the "old people."

He is survived by his wife, Jeanne, whom he married in 2015; four sons, Danny (Joy), Allen (Cindy), Michael (Jayne), and Bruce (Karen); daughter, Denise; 16 grandchildren; and 32 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his step-mother, Mary McCoy; his wife of 65 years who passed away in 2011, Lorraine (Harvey); two brothers; and a sister. Also left to cherish his memory are Jeanne's sons, Paul and Brian; daughter, Jennifer; and grandchildren, who accepted him lovingly into their family.

A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 28 at Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville. Interment will be in New Burlington Cemetery. Steve Collett will be officiating the services. The family will receive friends 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home, with a Masonic and Eastern Star service beginning at 7:30 p.m. — all are welcome to attend.
