He was an honor student in high school and excelled in sports. He was a World War II veteran serving in Korea. He married Naomi and together they raised 10 children. He was a farmer for most of his life. He occasionally preached at a local church.
He was the hardest working man that I knew and he passed on this passion to many of his descendants. He loved telling stories, sometimes the same ones over and over, always laughing as if he were telling them for the first time.
Robert Allen Coy was my father-in-law and he went to meet our God this year. When someone passes from this life to the next, we often say: ”rest in peace”. I doubt if Robert is resting in heaven. He was too much a man of action.
