We so enjoyed Milo in telluride! He helped our son through TASP. Zack now 20 can ski down anything. Milo holds a special place in our families heart. Sending our love and condolences to Abby and family.

Abby, so sorry to hear of your dad´s passing. Praying for you and your family!

Dear Abby and family - saddened to hear about Milo´s passing. Such a good friend with David, and subsequently with me. Wonderful memories skiing, and he and Abby being just good friends. He honored the earth being a passionate Environmentalist. Eventhough we hadn´t seen one another and time has passed by, Milo made an indelible mark in our lives. I hope David greeted him coming home. With love, Joyce

Milo was an extraordinary educator. His sense of humor was legendary in its scope. As students, we respected the man and loved him at the same time. RIP, Milo.

I was in Mr DeVries' shop class, 7th grade, 1964. Remember him well, great guy.

Always enjoyed seeing Milo on the slopes in Telluride. He had a very positive vibe and so passionate about the adaptive ski program on the Mountain. He will be missed !!
