Coy and Dorothy Rimmer were two of the nicest people I have ever known.Coy ALWAYS had a big smile on his face, and ALWAYS had an encouraging word to brighten my day. Coy was a special, special man, and he will not be forgotten....EVER!! The years that I went to church with him (Forth Street Baptist), he was the unofficial "greeter", making his way down the isle on both sides, shaking hands...I usually got a pat on the back....and he was always happy and welcoming. What a legacy! How can we be sad, when Coy is walking on streets of gold, and Dorothy was there to welcome him home.

We loved this sweet man!!! He was friends with my sister and brother-in-law, Maxine and Harold Lumpkin for ever. He built my son Cotton a swing just like big people's swing, when he was young. We still have it in our back yard, and my grandson swings in it. He will be missed by everyone that was blessed to have him in their life, and I am so happy he was in mine. Prayers for family, Henry and Billie Sue Rohrscheib
