I first met Milo when he started dating Mel and was impressed by what a gentleman he was; he was very easy going, pleasant to talk to, and had a great sense of humor. Getting to know him over the years was a pleasure....he will be missed by many. - Posted by: Gail Walker (family friend) on: Sep 07, 2013

My condolences to your family on the loss of Milo. I remember the Redbourne family when we lived in Cabot, my Dad worked there as a section man & we lived in the section house & the Redbourne family lived in the station. I believe I worked with Rose at one point in time on one of my assignments. May you have many good memories of the time you spent with Milo & may he rest in peace. - Posted by: Margaret Martin (Falk) (Neighbor in Cabot ) on: Sep 07, 2013
