Coach Mike helped hundreds of people of all ages learn and improve playing the sport of tennis. Many times he taught multiple generations in the same families. He was preceded in death by his parents Randolph and Virginia Watson. Survivors include his sister and brother-in-law, Sharon and Thomas Hastings of Ozark.
