Raymond R. “Bud” Tallman, athlete, churchman, sports
Raymond R. Tallman of Dyberry Two, Honesdale, a churchman, athlete and avid sports fan, died Monday morning, June 5, 2000 in Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton, following a brief illness. He was 72.
He and his wife, the former Thelma Varcoe, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Nov. 28, 1999. They met while they were in high school, and sat, alphabetically arranged, one after the other all during their secondary schooling.
He was born June 26, 1927 in Honesdale, son of the late Raymond G. and Kathryn Hosey Tallman. After graduating from Honesdale High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served for the duration of World War II. He completed his boot camp training in Sampson, NY ands served aboard the USS Colorado in the Pacific Theatre.
Mr. Tallman retired as a press operator from the Moore Business Forms in 1989. He had joined the YUBA Company of Honesdale after the war, and, after its closing, worked at Moore’s. At Central Methodist Church, both he and Mrs. Tallman were tireless workers. He was frequently an usher. He also spent many hours as a member of a volunteer corps of laity who transformed an old school building into the Wesley Room there. He also built their home with lumber hewn from his wife’s family farm on the Brook Road. The couple moved into the home in 1957.
He was an avid sports fan which stemmed from his record-setting career as a baseball and softball player. It was while “Bud” Tallman was playing for the Gobblers Knob Team that he won the league batting title two years in a row. While he an Mrs. Tallman enjoyed their retirement, he also pursued golf and an even greater enjoyment, rooting for a grandchild in some school function.
In addition to Mrs. Tallman, his survivors include: children - Janice and Jim Tanner of Carlisle, Gerald and Ann Tallman of Honesdale ; and Sandra and Joseph Maculaitis of Paupack; grandchildren - Traci and Mel Kelley of Harrisburg, Nicole and Brian Maschmayer of Carlisle, Scott and Megan Mang of Paupack, and, Christopher, Eric and Michelle Tallman of Honesdale; great grandchildren - Tanner and Teece Kelley and Hunter Nakielny; brother, Jack Tallman, sisters, Judy Rimlinger and Kay Babyak; and nieces and nephews.

Misc. Notes
[Obituary] Wayne Independent - July 24 to July 26, 2010
Thelma Varcoe Tallman, age 82 of Honesdale passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 22, surrounded by her family. She was the widow of Raymond R. Tallman who died in 2000.
A lifelong resident of Honesdale, she was the daughter of the late Nelson Varcoe and Florence Colwell Varcoe. She graduated from East Stroudsburg State College in 1948 and was a gifted, loving teacher dedicated to her students until her retirement in 1990. Over the years she received many awards for her hard work and dedication. Among them were the Outstanding Educator Award and the Anne Sullivan Award. However no award ever gave her more pleasure or pride than the simple note or card she often received from a former student sharing their accomplishments or just saying hello. Thelma was a longstanding member of the Honesdale Central United Methodist Church and its women's society. She volunteered many years with the Red Cross, Wayne County Public Library, American Cancer Society and the Food Pantry.
Her love and devotion to her family and friends was unsurpassed. Thelma is survived by one son, Gerald Tallman and wife Ann of Honesdale; two daughters; Sandra Maculaitis and husband Joe of Paupack, Janice Tanner and husband Jim of Carlisle; one sister, Melva Hicks of Honesdale; eight grandchildren, Chris and Eric Tallman, Michelle Iloff, Scott Mang, Andrea Nakielny, Erin Maculaitis, Traci Kelley and Nicole Maschmeyer. She is also survived by ten loving great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Thelma was preceded in death by 2 brothers; Allen Varcoe and Elton Varcoe; and her great grandson Reece Kelley.
The funeral will be at 10:00 on Monday, July 26 at the Honesdale Central United Methodist Church. Visitation for friends and family will be held on Sunday, July 25, from 5-8 in the Wesley Room of the Central United Methodist Church. Arrangements by the Hessling Funeral Home, 428 Main St, Honesdale PA.
