Norma and family,
Please know we are all thinking of you! Milan was a kind and friendly man always saying hello whenever we met. I also wanted you to know that a friend of mine in Slovenia Karli Gradišnik sends his thoughts and prayers. Karli was here in INDY once for a trade show and Milan offered to go with us as a translator to help him do some business there with the dealers!
He was so grateful that Milan took time for a total stranger and help out his fellow Slovene! He said he still has a photo of them as a memory of that special time!
May he Rest In Peace!

It was my pleasure to work with Milan at Link-Belt. I was the Facilities Manager and he was the best Electricial Maintenance Foreman that any supervisor could hope to have. I retired at the end of 1982 and lost track of Milan. I believe that he went to work for either the Bearing Plant or another company. I have a dental appointment that will keep me tied up until well past noon or I would be at Milan's viewing and funeral. I send my condolences and pray for your family as they move on without a Husband, Dad, Grandfather to share their lives without him.
