RIP Uncle Milo - what a special part of our family you were from the moment you got together with our Aunt Cathy. Even after she passed away we were so blessed that you always remained that very special part of our family at our get togethers.
Now you will be united again in heaven with all those that you love and that love you that had gone before. You will always be admired, respected and loved for the kind, loving man you were and will be missed by all that knew and loved you.
