Coy had such a great personality and big spirit that will forever be with all of us. Always fun loving and the life of the party, Coy enjoyed having family and friends over for backyard bbq’s, especially on Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day. He loved sitting by a campfire, summers at Misquamicut beach, traveling, smoking ribs, darts, and having horseshoe tournaments in the backyard.
