Mylo was my boss at VCSU when I worked there in the late 90s and into the 2000s. He was a good boss and very fair in everything. He and I also scrubbed and waxed the floors in Nearly Nu many times during that time and later, until we decided to retire from doing it on account of age and health reasons. He was always ready to help whenever the need arose. He will always be remembered for his remarkable witt. He will be greatly missed .
