“In loving memory of Ken Coates, Sincerest condolences to Geri and the entire family. I met Ken during my high school years when he & Laurie R. used to come in to the Chatham YMCA to swim & I worked on the reception desk. So a very long time ago, He will be missed by a great many friends. May your memories of him bring you comfort during this difficult time. Hugs from Ann (Parker) Lenk”

Glenn Coates wrote a sympathy message

“Our deepest condolences to Geri, Crystal, Marc and their families on the passing of their husband, father, and grandfather. It’s been a lot of years since Ken and I shared a small bedroom in our first home in Charing across. I have a lot of good memories growing up with Ken (and older brother Bev). I hope that your good memories will get you through the tough times at present and Ken’s memory will stay with you forever. Glenn, Anna, and the Coates Family”
