Bob was the founder of Coe Heating and Air Conditioning in 1962. He was a member of Waynedale United Methodist Church and the Waynedale Masonic Lodge. He belonged to several Mizpah Shrine clubs, including the Horse Patrol and the Flying Shriners. He always enjoyed playing euchre every Monday night with his buddies. He was very active in auto racing for many, many years, and passed that love of racing onto his sons and now a grandson.

He will be greatly missed by family and friends, as well as Venus and Bootsie, his dog and cat. Special thanks to the staff of Heartland Home Health for the care and support they gave us in his final weeks.
