James Coyne Obituary

I met Jim in April of 1968. He has always been remembered though we took different paths i never forgot him. I just lost my brother Jan 14 ...I can't believe now Jim has passed . HE was an awsome guy.

I wish to extend my condolences to the family of Jim Coyne. Jim was my Company Commander and a great friend when I was in the 210th Armor at the New Scotland Avenue Armory.

I will always remember the golf tournament in Troy. He said “you just made my day“. He was always happy and smiling even in the absolute best and worst of times. Rest in peace my friend.

Worked with Jim at GE in my younger years. He was a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to work with. He is gone too soon! Rest in peace sir!

Jim and I served together in the 1-210th Armor, he was the Battalion Operations officer and I was one of the Bn master gunners. We worked hand in hand helping to train tank crews. I miss his sense of humor and laugh. He was an exceptional leader and a fine officer. I will see you on the green Sir!

My husband, Col. Brian Noonan who passed away 8 years ago was a great friend of Jim’s. They spent a lot of time working, talking and just hanging out at the 210th. Great memories and lasting friendships were made there. My condolences and prayers to his family.

Sending my deepest condolences for the loss of your father Pat.

My sincerest condolences to Jim's family. Jim and I served together in the military. we shared many experiences during our careers. During our down times we enjoyed a lot of laughs and shared many stories. Jim truly enjoyed his military experiences. Rest In Peace My Friend.

My condolences to Jim Coyne's Family.
He was a great officer and mentor to me during my military career. I met him for the first time at the iTAM in Saratoga as he conducted an interview with me for the position of company commander for C Co, 101CAV. I had the chance to catch-up with him back in November, for the last time, at the ITAM and glad I did. I will miss you sir! God bless.

It was a pleasure serving with you Sir!

My uncle Jim is a hero to our nation. I learned to understand more about his experiences and how he served as I grew older to appreciate all he has devoted his life too. He is a character. I loved his stories and his opinions. I am so sad that he didn’t get to meet my husband Gabe because I think the two of them would have enjoyed one another. He is a legend and I am proud to be his niece. Thank you uncle Jim for serving and preserving what our country stands for. May you rest in peace with aunt Nancy, uncle Mark,Grandma C, and all your family and friends. #warrior

Very nice person. I meet James at the ITAM

Jim and I shared three years of love, laughter and oldies music. Continuing with many years as friends. My deepest sympathy to his wonderful children, Traci, Eric and Patrick.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. May you find comfort in fond memories.

Served with the LTC. Always admired his no non sense style, but always with a laugh. Going to be missed. RIP

I worked for LTC Coyne when he was the G2. It was an honor to serve with him, and I was in awe of how he motivated soldiers to get the mission complete. I’m sure we went through a couple of Warfighters together. Sir, again, it was an honor to work for you, and a greater honor to call you a friend.

I had that Jim while I met when bartending VFW 420. A wonderful man that would greatly will glow a room. May Jim RIP.

My sincerest condolences to Jim’s family.
Jimmy was one of the finest soldiers I had the honor to serve with. He was a consummate professional and very effective leader as evidenced by his rise through the ranks as a platoon leader, company commander and battalion commander. He was loved by those he served with especially the members of the units he commanded. We enjoyed many good times and plenty of laughs. Rest in Peace good friend. You are missed.

First I would like to express my condolences to the Coyne family for the loss of a great man and the friend I've had for 34 years, but for some reason, we could never get together. Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you think it should. When I first met up with Jim after high school at one of our reunions, I fell in love in a heart beat. I used to call Jim Major Dad, then he became a Col. He will always have a place in my heart and the feeling never left. Love to you all and God Bless! I hope I will meet him again some day in Heaven.

My deepest condolences to Jim's family, he was "one of a kind" and will be missed by many.

He was an officer and gentleman of extraordinary wit and charm, who always approached life's challenges with good grace. I will miss you, Sir.

A end of a era...
One of a kind guy..
Good friend for 50 + years..
See ya later Jimmy..

When I was a new officer in the 210th Armor I looked up to him as a mentor. He gave great advice. He was also fun to be around.

Jim Coyne, was “Led By Love Of Country “Ducit Amor Patriae”. You will be missed.

Jim was a super soldier as well as a great person. I didn’t know anyone that didn’t like Jim. He was a great friend to me and a guy who we could depend on for all things military. I knew him through out most of his military career as someone that excelled by using common sense and an engaging leadership style. He will be missed. God Bless you Jim.

My sincerest condolences to the James Coyne family and especially to my co-worker Traci Wallace, his daughter. May your loved one rest in peace.

He made me as a soldier (bobcat)

We were soldiers once, and young. We were also good friends. Safe journey through Valhalla to Fiddler's Green where we will met again and swap tall tales about how we won the war.

May you find comfort in your memories and in the warm sympathy that goes out to you today
Peace Brother

He was an awesome commander and soldier rest in peace sir. My condolences go out to the families

Col. a true Gentleman and leader. Rest in peace at Fiddlers Green. To the Utmost !! May the Black velvet continue to flow

On behalf of the 32nd Separate Company Annual Stag Dinner Committee. We would like to like to express our sincere condolences to James family. Thank you for your leadership and service to our great Nation .

Officer, Gentleman, and personal friend. We called him the Senior Man and sometimes because of his nature, a small circle would call him Dad. That is the affection we had for this warrior. He will be sorely missed by all.

I was fortunate to meet Jimmy through his brother Brian. I always enjoyed being a part of conversations with him and Brian. Jimmy was funny, quick witted and enjoyed sharing his views about current events in the country. He was a brilliant man who served his country valiantly in the military. I’m honored to have met him.

My condolences to his loving family.
