I had just recently asked Reeves about Milon. So sorry to hear about his passing. Maxine saw the obituary in the paper today. I have a number of memories of him as family and as a fellow Milliken man. I hope that you are doing alright. Maxine and I also have a daughter in Orlando. We’re going down for Thanksgiving. You are in our thoughts. Love Doug
Dear BJ, Karen and I were very saddened upon hearing of Milon’s passsing. As a former colleague of mine for many years, I was fortunate to have been at his side on many occasions. His business acumen coupled with his wonderful sense of humor made him a truly unique person. Our prayers are with you and your family.
