I am glad to have many fond memories with Mr. Coates and will cherish those memories. His jokes and smile were the highlight of any family gathering. May he rest peacefully with his wonderful loving wife and daughter and may we all see them again someday.

Tom and Tracy,
I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. Coates passing (I still can’t call him Paul)…he was a huge positive influence in my youth and I will always think fondly of the time I spent with him and your family.

Love you sis. Praying for you and your family. I’ll always cherish how he let us swim and hang out at his pool. I know I had atleast one birthday party there. He was so kind to us and hilarious!!

Dear Tom, Jim and Ray,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Ray told me but I didn’t see the obituary until now. Paul was such a humorous man and Billie was so funny, as well. We enjoyed his organ playing so much. We will miss him greatly.

Dear Jim, Tom (Tommy) and Ray,
I was truly saddened to hear of your Father’s passing. I have fond memories of all of you, Charlie the parrot and your Father’s sense of humor. The pipe organ is something I’ll not forget and I have shared stories about it with my Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Your Mom, Dad and Paula Are in great company in Heaven.
