Mary Jo and family,
Our fondest memories of Dick go back twenty-some years ago. We met him through Howie and always enjoyed his music and his charm. What a nice man and he sure leaves a wonderful legacy. We share in your loss and hope all your special memories will bring some measure of comfort.

Our condolences go out to Mary Jo and the family. Dick played a unique style steel guitar and was always willing to share His talents. I believe his steel guitar made my recording of "There's A Grand Ol Opry Show Playing Somewhere" the hit that it was.The angels are singing to a lot better music today. Love, Red & Flo Johnson

My sympathy and condolences to Mary Jo and her family on the loss of a wonderful husband and father to his family and a friend to me.
Dick was planted into my life one day when I met him at a MInnesota Steel Guitar Show. We had a lot of good times together sharing & playing our music & steels, enjoying meals and fellowship, snowmobiling and biking. His heart was as big as he was.
Dick and Mary Jo were like a second set of parents to me that took me under their wings. I am happy...

Our deepest sympathy to all of the Mileski Family. Dick was such a great guy. I will miss his humor and warm personality, and of course, his beautiful Steel Guitar music. He made everyone he played for sound better!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mileski family. Dick had a great sense of humor and will be missed. We are SO happy we were able to visit and talk to him at my nieces wedding last year. Here's hoping he hooks up with "Charlie" and says hello!
