My deepest condolences to you, Milt, and your family. My memories of Shirley, you, and John, are all wrapped up in happiness and joy. We had great times and great friendship with each other. We were blessed to have the time together. Thank you God, and thank you Milt.
Lovingly,

My thoughts and prayers are with Milt and the rest of the Dakovich family. My parents Harold & Marilyn McIntire were long time friends.
