Mr. Coe was a great guy. I remember his Firebird. He and Mr. Peacock filmed me walking on the beach one summer for one of their films. Both Mr. and Mrs. Coe were great people. Also some great parties. Fond memories.

Loved your Dad girls! So glad I got to see him in August when we moved Talbott to Charleston, his artwork adorns Talbott's dorm room. I'd like to think your Mom and Dad welcomed Dad to heaven last week with a cocktail!

I raised my two successful children "Coe style" with lots of love , involvement and support. I learned this style of parenting as I observed the Coe family during my teens. I have many fond memories of sleep overs, beach vacations, school functions, and other community events with the Coes. Lowry was the father figure I did not have and I feel so lucky to have known him.

I remember Mr. and Mrs. Coe very well. I was in a Coe Peacock production many years ago. Mr. Coe had me walk on the beach at Ocean City in my leather fringe coat bare foot. I have fond memories of him at the partys at Debbie's house. He will be missed. Paul Pistolas

Your dad was a very special man and my sister and I loved him like our own father. He lived his life to the fullest and enjoyed every moment. He loved his family and was loved by all. His art hangs on walls all over the world. What a wonderful legacy! He will be missed by all who knew him, and we all share your sorrow and sadness at this tough time. Thinking of you all.
