I first met Milo at Conrad Chevrolet in March of 1984. My first day selling cars. Back then you had to wear a coat and tie. Right off the bat, Milo says, Bob Peck do I need to get my seven year old son to teach you how to tie a tie? That was 41 years ago, and yes I can tie a tie! That is just one episode with Milo. He was always a friend to me. I truly will miss our little chats about life. Thank you Milo for the memories.
