Final Itinerary Csmgt John E. Coats, USAF, 85, Bryan, TX, Monday 22 October 07
Chief Senior Master Sergeant John E. Coats, retired in 1964 from the USAF after serving in WWII and Korea.
He retired just as the Vietnam War was ramping up. John Coats lost his wife in 2004 and has been in
declining health since. John is the son of long time PGR members Tommy and Anna Coats from the
Bryan/College Station area. Tommy and Anna took care of his father in their home until his death.
This commitment to ones parents is something we remember from years past, not often performed today.
I thank God for their standing by Tommy's dad watching the progression to this time. It is our honor
as his PGR family to now stand with him with the same commitment as he has exemplified.
John E. Coats was among the first 100 to attain the rank of Chief Senior Master Sergeant, E-9, USAF.
