Hiking Accident Claims CdA’s Darcy

For years, Mike Darcy was the face that often greeted guests at the city of Coeur d'Alene Recreation Department. He was the man who helped organize everything from soccer to basketball to softball and flag football. He was the one who accepted the application forms and officially put the teams together for thousands of children, teens and adults. "Mike would do what was needed to make sure the job got done," said Steve Anthony, recreation director. He will be missed. Darcy died Saturday in a hiking accident near Salmon. He was 55. Anthony said Darcy, a recreational specialist, was a respected and trusted member of the family at City Hall. He worked part time about five years before starting full time at the city rec department in 1990/Bill Buley, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Courtesy photo from Coeur d'Alene Press)
