Taken in Maracaibo, Venezuela - early 1972. This is the only time in my adult life that I did not have a moustache. I shaved it off and kept it that way for a short time.
I do not know who this is - I am on the right.
About two or three?
Pampa, Texas - taken by Fletcher's Studio
Lavan Island in the Persian Gulf in 1968. There were no barbers on the island, so we cut each other's hair. Judy and the boys came over for a three-month visit.
This was taken in Venezuela when I was Project Superintendent for the Mobil Project. This is my co-worker, Karl Schmidt. This was about 1965 or 1966.

1I think I look older here, so I am guessing this was 1946.

My older brother, me and our Mom. I was seven when my Mom passed away from cancer.
In my name, my family will share pictures and stories about me. Hopefully, for many years to come my grandchildren and great grandchildren will know something about me and know that I was always a family man. This is my obituary and this blog, hopefully, will tell some of the stories of my life in words and pictures. WARREN WELDON McCOY, 62, passed away Monday, March 22, 1999. His battle against cancer will always be a reminder of his strength, courage and endurance.
His 'McCoy way' of life was to love and honor his family. His honesty, integrity and the ability to always try to do the right thing will always be an inspiration. He knows this legacy will live on in his wife, Judy; his sons Donny and Mike; his brother, Gene and wife, Pat; his grand children, Michael, Maegan and Madeline; his nieces and nephew, Janet, David, Karen and Joy; his great nieces and nephews; and his cousin, Lynn.
He touched the lives of many people during his 45 working years. People literally around the world will miss him. Warren knows this 'extended family' will always be there for his family. He is preceded in death by his mother Lorene McCoy and his father Donald Mack McCoy.
