Mike's son has fond memories of Margate - of not being able to walk 10 feet, in the summer, without someone grabbing his Dad to say hello, then immediately telling him that his father was a great guy. Mike was just that friend that everyone loved, or to be in his company and grab a drink. Mike is predeceased by his parents Catherine and Danny Coan and his brother Danny.
