Quotations: "My first book on the heliograph was written to provide some record of an almost forgotten subject. The telegraph book was inspired by the closing of Western Union, which marked the end of an era that began in 1844. The telephone book pays tribute to Elisha Gray, who is generally ignored in telephone history, along with many other inventors. Wireless Radio points out the many ways in which radio is used, aside from conventional entertainment broadcasting. I had hands-on experience in all of these fields and decided that the books would make a worthwhile contribution to history".
Coe was a member of Veteran Wireless Operators, Antique Wireless Association, Morse Telegraph Club.
Lewis Coe married Alice Fisher on September 29, 1940.
