Former Credit Union ONE Chairman Coyne......In Memory

Ferndale, Michigan - William (Bill) Coyne, former board chairman and director of Credit Union ONE passed way Thursday, March 28, 2013. He was 78 years old.

Mr. Coyne had a long and distinguished tenure from 1989-2009 as a member of the Supervisory Committee and also as Chairman of the Board. Throughout his years of volunteerism at Credit Union ONE, he also participated in many sub-committees of the Board.

No matter the circumstance Bill always put the credit union, its employees and members first.  To quote Mr. Coyne, “I see the epitome of credit union history of “people helping people” everywhere I turn. It’s not just a saying, its reality.”

Credit Union ONE is grateful for his long years of service and dedication.  He touched the lives of everyone at the credit union in ways he could not have imagined and will be sadly missed.

In his past professional life, Bill had a long career with Ferndale Schools, culminating in the position of Superintendent of Ferndale Public Schools. In retirement he also served as Superintendent of Carsonville-Port Sanilac Schools for approximately 15 months.

He is survived by his wife Gail, two married sons, six grandchildren and one great grandchild.
