Mr. Cote was a wonderful windmill expert who helped me during the time that I was development director at Armand Bayou Nature Center. When I called him in the 90’s about working on on an old windmill at the nature center farm site, he said that he was the one who had installed it in the 70’s and he instantly recalled the windmill and its correct height and span. Thankfully he brought a slighter younger helper out to climb the tower and follow his instructions in the repair.
He gave me a wonderful windmill model with an inscription on it to me that I still have and treasure.
I never knew all these other wonderful things about him except that he dearly loved his wife and family.
He was a very special person and a joy to know.
