James Floyd Coffin

It has taken a month to do this but in my 52 yrs to write a bit about our dad would take ages to do. But reading all the Pezhead stuff, past family members (past as in divorced out of family) who could have stayed out of family had no intentions of leaving my dad. He made a memory everywhere he went. He is by all accounts the funniest person ever. The Superbowl is coming and it will suck but calling mom 2 times will be good. There will be so many firsts for us in the next year that makes this one of the hardest things for all 4 of us. But everyones kind and wonderful words, all the pics and the love for our dad will get us thru till we all meet in July. I love you dad!

Ah, never to forget...James Nose! Your jokes, your smile and your wonderful humor. Have one ready for me when I see you.

You have been such a dear friend and a source of both comfort and mirth over the years. It will be a long time getting used to not seeing your hilarious emails or your positive "vibes" when things go wrong. You have been loved, you will be missed. Sincere condolences to Jim's family for your loss.

We knew him as Kerry and Bobby's dad. He had a great sense of humor and we were greatful for the time we got to spend with him. May god bless him and his family!

This is my grandfather.....I'm also known to him as rabakuki...don't ask me why. But...he was hilarious!!!! So one day when you are feeling blue...ask yourself...you know what I heard???? Sheep. You know what I saw??? Wood. And then you will never need to ask yourself another question.....because you'll smile....he was hilarious. And he never ages. I love you grampa......I always have....always will. Rip. Jess

I knew Jim from many online encounters, chats, messages, and met him several times when our internet group, the Pezheads, would get together for our annual meetings around the country. We were in Vegas, London, Marblehead, and other venues where the group would reacquiaint and see the local sights, eat good food of the area, and just have a good old time with each other. There could have been anywhere from 6 to 30 of us in one place at one time, depending on the circumstances, economics, and availability of time and money, but we always enjoyed each others' company and loved our time spent together. Jim was definitely a presence in our little band, and was well liked for his wit and upbeat personality, always in the middle of the fun. I met him once on a cross- country tour that took me across the top tier of states, a brief lunch time that was unforgettable at a truck stop in his local area in Idaho. It was just the little things that counted...he went to a Baseball game in Chicago with us once, and helped to explain the game to our Brit friends who were also there for the occasion, a fact I'm sure they never forgot. I could always talk to Jim, he was a down-to-earth guy whose heart was always in the right place, who loved his family, who loved his friends, and who was always quick with the supportive words for someone who needed a lift. I liked him and will miss our chats, miss the fact that I won't meet him for lunch next July at the truckstop, and I'll miss knowing that he's out there. He was a friend whom I won't ever forget, and I'll miss him.

James Floyd Coffin.... Wow, there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe this amazing man. LOL, however there are plenty outside the dictionary that would work :). For those of you that knew him, i need not say anymore, but I'm going to anyway. He got me good 27 years ago with his goofy joke. "Know what i saw"? what I said? "wood", was his response. Then, he said, "know what i heard", again I asked, what? And "sheep" was his answer. It only took me a year or so to get that stupid joke. It never really took much to get a chuckle out of Jim. he was always a very light hearted man that never really took life to seriously, except when it came to his girls, or his grand kids. Funny story; Hiking on a trail in the woods in Washington state, Myself, hopefully still the favorite (x son in law), his daughter Bobby and grand daughter Tasha. Tasha, running down a dirt trail, fell head first at Jims feet. Off the cuff, I spread my arms wide open and yelled "SAFE" !!! I've never seen that man laugh so hard, and Tasha never shed a tear either. Case in point, if Jim was laughing, so should the whole world. He should be an example for us all. You will be greatly missed and loved forever James Floyd Coffin. To the entire Coffin family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jimmy, you will be missed. Sweet, funny, loving...our world is poorer without you. But we know that you and Dad are rockin' it up together, with your numbered jokes! I'm better for having known you, dear Brother-in-law. Rest in Peace, my dear.

I knew Jim from way back in the Puzzle Zone days on AOL, to keeping in contact via emails to present day. I've also met him many times in person at our "reunions" that we would have across the country, usually around his birthday. What a wonderful soul he was, always ready with a funny (sometimes corny) joke and keen observations that kept us amused. I will have nothing but very fond memories of "Ol Jim." Rest in peace, I'm so glad I got the chance to know such a fine gentleman. Oleg

Remembering with love, fondness, and a few chuckles a dear person from my past. Jim Coffin "just like they carry you off-in", provided many with insight gently cloaked in humor. Your family and friends will not forget the tenderness and sweetness you tried so hard to mask with a manly exterior. Rest in peace, you old muzzle-loader you, and keep your powder dry.

Ol' Jim was one of the kindest individuals I have ever met. He was quick with a joke, a kind word and always spoke the best of his family. I had never known anyone who could tell you more about something...anything and still boast at the same time that he didn't really know anything. He was the most amazing person and his presence will be sorely missed.

My dad. What can you say about my dad?! First let me tell you, He loved you pezheads! He loved the trips and conversations on the computer. What you did for him brought him to tears couple times. He wouldn't have made the trips without you. And the computer really showed you were true friends so I thank you or helping me make it happen! My dad was a character he loved us girls and our kids a lot. I'm thankful for all the fabulous memories I guess a favorite was us doing a white water trip down the snake. After we hit land he turned raised his fist and yelled "I beat the mighty snake". Haha or when he and I ad our own apt in Spokane, I was a spoiled rotten teenager. Dad I'm going to miss you so much!! I keep waiting for something weird to happen cause I know your right here and you said youde mess with me. Hey dad Guess what I heard? Know what's gross? I LOVE YOU PAPA

He will be missed. Loved his jokes and giving me a bad time. When my dads could not come to my wedding he step in as a dad and gave me away. He will always be a dad to me. He always keep in touch with me e-mail and kept the jokes coming. Wish I could remember them all. I'll keep him in my heart always.
