Coon

Gary L. “Cooney” Coon, 89, of Karns City, formerly of Reno, Pa., passed away Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, at home surrounded by his family.

He proudly served his country in the Army in the military police while stationed in Korea.

Now that he is finally at rest, we know he’s already found a new project to work on, a new lawn to mow, and can finally sit still — at least for a moment.
