>Sadly, Mike Beane passed away on Thursday. His daughter, Allie, posted the sad news on Mike's Facebook page on Sunday. I just saw it yesterday and thought I would let you all know, for those of you not on Facebook. He will be missed ...

I feel very badly for Mike's daughters. Years ago I talked briefly on the phone to one of them, but I don't remember if it was Allie or his other daughter.
Mike's mannerisms and his issues were often part of conversations. But he was never malicious. Yes, he was stubborn and emotional about things (as we all can be), but never malicious. Deep down he was a good guy. He loved sports, he loved his kids, he loved being part of the glory day of Fox, he loved writing, etc.
