To the McCoy family we sent our deepest sympathy. And always remember the good times. With our love Sandy and Art Bowden 🙏🙏🙏
My condolences to the McCoy family. PJ was an exceptional individual. I was younger than PJ and understandably some of the older guys could be dismissive of us younger guys. But never PJ. You were always greeted with a smile and a big hello, made you feel like you mattered. And with PJ you did. PJ had a meaningful and positive impact on my life without ever knowing it. Couldn’t ask for a better “older guy” to show you the way.
Mary Pat, James, Tommy, Kathleen and all the McCoy Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Terry
