Gilford-----James Robert Coy, 70, of Harris Shore Road died on Monday, May 08, 2017, at home surrounded by his family, after fighting a heroic 2 year battle with cancer.

Jim was born on July 24, 1946 in Lowell, MA, the son of the late Mary (Brown) and

Jim’s favorite pastimes in retirement were boating, gardening, cribbage, poker and spending time with family. A special thanks to our friends for the wonderful hours of cribbage played with Jim on the beach. Your friendships meant so much to him.

Jim is survived by his wife, Janis of 43 years, a daughter, a grandson, 3 sisters and their husbands; Christine & Gary Haywood of Tewksbury, MA; Gail & Ken Roberts of Naples, ME; and Linda & Greg Roberts of Dracut, MA.
