Mike "Myron Irving" Nevelson died Monday, June 3 in Acworth, New Hampshire. He was 97.
Nevelson was known for his anthropomorphic wooden sculptures often based on furniture styles, e.g. grandfather clocks and jewelry chests.
An excellent raconteur, for hours he would entertain friends and family with stories from his world travels and voracious interest in world history.
Mike Nevelson is survived by his wife, Marianne Wierenga-Nevelson; his three daughters Neith Nevelson (Robert McKnight), Elsbeth Nevelson-Andress (Ron), and Maria Nevelson (Lino Massimo Recchia); grandchildren Issa Minnoni, Xochtle McKnight, Nathan Andress; and great-grandchildren Rhowen Giustibelli, and Xacha Williams.
No funeral services will be held.
