Knew you longer than I have known most people in my life, even if we weren't particularly close in our adult years.
Was always a genuine pleasure whenever I encountered you in life's travels and got the opportunity to catch up with an old friend.
Saddened to learn I won't be encountering you again in this life. See ya on the other side, bro.

Helen, Milan, DanDan, Nick, Linda, Milija & Neika. I am so sorry for your loss. Milo was my friend and we grew up together going to Gatewood elementary and then later attending school with my brother Frank at Rainier Beach. Milo was honest, hardworking and self-made. He was a good friend, son, brother and uncle. He is now with the heavenly father looking over us all. May his soul remind us of good times and may his spirit fill our hearts with love. Rest in peace my friend.

I will remember Milo for not being demanding and at fault for feeling that he was imposing when on the contrary he was a refreshing smile to my day and I'm sure many. He cared for people and he cared for God's planet. That is why God gave him the gift to honor and protect his creation as the ultimate gardener. It is said, you reap what you sow. Milo, you have fulfilled God's calling and now he has asked you to come home with him. I can never repay you for what you shared with me only to reassure you that I will keep serving and loving people as you have shown us all to be.

So sad to hear of this news, Milo was a wonderful friend to all that knew him. Milo lived down the street from me and we went to the same high school together. He was a very gifted landscaper who had a second to none worth ethic. My condolences and prayers go out to his family.

I knew Milo way back before he could hold a wrench for me or Dan, but he learned fast. Last year I bought a hydraulic tiller from him which I'm using to replant my cranberry farm to higher-yielding varieties. The first renovated bog is now named the Milo bog with new Pilgrim variety vines replacing the old McFarlins. Whenever someone asks 'why that name?' Milo will be remembered once again.

it's unheard of in the Landscape Industry that an employer would pay travel pay and lunches, but Milo did everyone I know liked him, as I did his tools are better his trucks are better everything about him is better than anyone i've worked for. Sorry I cant be there at this time. I have moved to Cal.

I've known Milo since he was born and he always had a smile on his face. He grew up to be a hard working and respected business owner who treated everyone well. He left us too soon and will be greatly missed.
