He is survived by Nancy, his beloved wife of 69 years, as well as his children Calvin Coghill III, Cheryl (Tommy) Conrad, and Tommy Coghill Jr.; his grandchildren, Kyle (Jessica) Conrad, Thomas Coghill III, Liza (Mitchell) Hogg; and his great-granddaughter, Hadlee Hogg.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, August 22, 2025, at Saint Ambrose Catholic Church, 380 South Federal Highway, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441.
