In memory of James F. McCoy Sr., Hall Family (Andy&Donna) lit a candle

James was more like a father to me than my brother-in-law. He was a man that knew how to run his house. When I needed advise, I could count on him to guide me in the right direction. He and Liz always made me and my family feel welcomed when we would go to visit with them. I have many fond memories with their family. He fought the good fight, he finished the race, and he kept the faith. May you rest in peace.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jim, Kim and Family-it is difficult to put into words my deepest condolences for Uncle James. I will never forget him or Aunt Liz. They were the kindest people I knew. I do know that he is singing and dancing with his "Endless Love" right now and his son as well as reminiscing with his brother Buddy and his nephews Charles and Lon his niece Dot. Much love during this difficult and sad time.
