My cousin Mike was so fun and funny with his dry humor. We lived out of state so I was 6 years old, he was 16 when the fun began. He teased and tickled me and I’d pull the hair on his legs to make him stop. It was Mike who named me Tallousa Maynard Jean, which ended up being shortened to Talloo as I’ve been called all my life. Thank you cousin Mike!
Sending love to you and all the family.
My condolences to Sandy and the family. Mike’s passing was devastating news and something I’m having difficulty dealing with.. Mike was intelligent, grounded and so very funny. He was so fun to be with; both on and off the golf course. Mike’s sense of humor and positive attitude will be sorely missed. I lost a good friend but gained so much knowing him. Although he will be missed, the great times will always be with me and everybody who was fortunate enough to know him. Rest in peace, Mike (20th hole) David Kovac, Scottsdale, AZ
Our condolences to Sandy and Mike, two of the sweetest people we have ever known. We have so many precious memories of them when we shared our winters at Shadow Mountain Mobile Home Park. We either talked about things we had read, things I had written, or the politics of the day. Mike always had a keen insight to share. He taught us so much without ever intending to do so. We always valued his opinion, as we do Sandy’s. We will always miss him.
REST IN PEACE, MIKE. IT’S BEEN A BLAST!
