My deepest sympathy to Georges family. I have known him for many years and always regarded him as a friend and renaissance man. A pharmacist, pharma rep, pilot, physician, FAA Examiner, lobbyist, and his favorite role as maitred at the classiest restaurant in Cedar Key. He was always kind and never too busy to help. One of a kind he will be dearly missed.

Doc was always upbeat and positive. He cared a lot for people. I was one of the many pilot friends George had. I can tell you all of us loved Doc Coupe! He took care of us regarding any FAA Medical concerns as well as our general health condition.
I lost track of Doc Coupe after my retirement, it really surprised me when I found his obituary.
He has remained a favorite person in my book.
GOD Bless you Doc
You will be sorely missed.

May you rest in peace, sir. I read your obituary with interest - I too was born in Falls City, NE (as were my older now deceased sisters {3} and brothers {2}) and my parents were married there (in 1917). I was last of 6 children and was born in 1937.

Dr. Coupe was the Read family doctor for many years and helped us through many illnesses along the way. We always found him to be not only good at curing, but also caring and compassionate. He leaves a beautiful memory and we extend our sympathy to his family.
