Mike had an unbelievable green thumb…having a passion for orchids, amaryllis, mango and avocado trees, palm trees, almost anything tropical. Mike’s other hobby was tormenting both his sisters which he did quite well.

Maurice, and “other mother”, Lynn Allen of Thermopolis, WY, sisters, Laura (Mike) Puckett, of St Pete, FL and Lana (Bryan) Hodge, of Owasso, OK, special nephews Ben and Nick of Oklahoma and Uncle Tony Herndon of Nashville, TN.
