Raymond "Dock" Lewis McCoy

Raymond “Dock” Lewis McCoy, age 87, of St. Augustine, FL, departed peacefully in his sleep following a brief illness on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at his residence, after a long and fruitful life. He was born on September 26, 1937, in Richwood, WV, the 5th of 10 children of the late Paul Summers McCoy and Ruth Virginia McCoy, née Irvin. He graduated from Webster Springs High School, West Virginia University at Morgantown, and then the University of Pittsburgh College of Medicine’s Physical Therapy program (formerly D.T. Watson Institute). With his wife Charlotte McCoy, née Christman, he established a successful 35+ year Physical Therapy practice in NE Ohio. They settled in Parma to raise two sons, and he later summered there after retiring. Upon retirement, he bounded South to St. Augustine, Florida, where he joyfully wintered, chased golf balls, and endeavored to become a scratch golfer. He reconnected with a High School classmate, Frances June Wiseman, née Cooper, for the last chapter of his life. Both shared a common past, friends, and a lifelong passion for sports, particularly the West Virginia Mountaineers. He is survived by his two sons: Gregory (Asheville, NC), Monte(Cynthia) (Westerville, OH), sisters: Frances Barker (Bob), Mildred Sharma, and brother Charlie Bill McCoy, along with a score of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by brothers: Jack, John, Richard/“Dick”, and sisters: Alice Miller, Mary McCoy & Polly Miller. A special note of gratitude to June’s family for including Ray in their lives: Kim (John) Lhota, Kelly (Greg) Burnett, Kent (Michelle) Wiseman, and all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family would also like to thank friends and neighbors for their many kindnesses and care. If Ray touched your life and you’d like to share your remembrance story, then please do so on this site. https://www.stjohnsfamilyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/raymond-dock-mccoy/#!/TributeWall. Ray wished to spend eternity among the many golf courses that he enjoyed in life, so his ashes will be spread at a later date. In honoring his wishes, the family will not hold a public service or gathering. Instead, they encourage loved ones to remember and celebrate the cherished moments shared. In lieu of donations, please spend time with those you love. And just think, Dad, no more slices or bogeys.
