ST. LOUIS — A longtime St. Louis alderman and fixture in Soulard is moving to Florida.
Jack Coatar, of counsel at Spencer Fane LLP, said he'll move to Tampa, Florida, with a target date of the end of September. His home in Soulard is listed for sale by Marybeth Wallace.
Coatar said his wife, Susan, a former Centene Corp. staffer, has been working for Tampa-based Better Health Group, and commuting back and forth between St. Louis. That's been hard, he said, with their 13-month-old son.
Coatar's parents also live in Venice, Florida, he said.
A Saint Louis University School of Law graduate, Coatar grew up in the Chicago area and graduated high school in Overland Park, Kansas.
