The Coates family, a very kind and loving family, lived 2 houses down from my family on Center St, Vienna, Va while i was growing up. Many times i would call out, ‘Hi Mr Coates’ over the years and he always stopped to wave and respond with a kind ‘hello’ back. My condolences to the family on Mr Coates passing, I’m sure i’ll always remember him in the years to come, and also Mrs Coates, his beloved wife, and Joanna, Priscilla and Sharon who welcomed us to the neighborhood back in 1972. God Bless you all, David Ellis, Culpeper, Va
