He enjoyed travel with his wife, including making several trips to the West Coast to visit his son. His wife, Shirley Yvonne Coe, and parents Mamie and Miller Coe precede him in death. He is survived by his loving children, Michael Jay Coe and wife Julie of Portland Oregon, and Linda Marie Coe of Kettering, Ohio.
