Celebrating the life of
Carl F. Coe
July 14, 1922 - September 18, 2010
Carl Francis "Casey" Coe, age 88, passed away Saturday morning, September 18, 2010 at Hospice Savannah. The Arlington, Virginia native attended Washington and Lee High School where he was Captain of the Cadet Corps and a member of the varsity football team. During World War II, Casey served as a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Radar Specialist, having successfully completed radar and communication training courses at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Along with his brother, Bill, he owned and operated Virginia Appliance and Service Co. in Arlington for nearly 25 years until his retirement in 1980 when he moved to Savannah. Casey, a man with a dry wit and a wry smile, was a puzzle fanatic and an avid reader of historical military fiction, as well as a die-hard Washington Redskins fan.
Surviving are his loving wife of 68 years, Peggy Coe; three devoted children and their spouses: daughter and son-in-law, Peggy A. and David Cariseo; Ted and Lois Coe, and Ken Coe & Colleen Cassiday; brother and friend Bill Coe; two adoring granddaughters, Amy Wilson Scott and Elizabeth Amen Peter, a five-month old great grandson Ryan Wilson, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 24, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. at Isle of Hope United Methodist Church followed by a reception in the Church Followship Hall.
Remembrances: In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice Savannah, Inc., P.O. Box 13190, Savannah, GA 31416 or Isle of Hope United Methodist Church Green House Project for Youth, 412 Parkersburg Road, Savannah, GA 31406.
