Milo was more than our round dance instructor, he was our friend. Milo had great patience, was encouraging, and we enjoyed laughing and joking with him each week. We always looked forward to dancing to Milo's cueing. Milo touched so many lives and brought joy to countless numbers of people. He was a sweet dear man and we feel a sad emptiness in our hearts. We will miss him tremendously. Hugs to Grace and Milo's family at this difficult time, may your memories bring you comfort. If Milo has any say about it there will surely be dancing in heaven, no doubt.
