Fay H. Coyne, 69, of Waverly, NY passed away on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at the Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre with his loving wife, Michelle, and family by his side.

He was born on May 22, 1949 in Sayre, PA, the son of Robert and Joan (Platt) Stevens.

Fay was a Veteran of the US Army, serving during the Vietnam War. His focus in life was always about family and friends. He enjoyed quiet time spent with his wife, Michelle, and being surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Family time was always first with him and spending time with friends. Every day, Fay, could be seen on the phone staying in touch with those he loved. If one wasn't home when he called, he would move on to the next one, but always reaching out to them daily.

He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and NASCAR. He also loved buying instant lottery tickets promising that he only spent limited money on them but could always be seen with one in his hand.
