I never met a more honest or sincere gentleman that Big Jack Milan. He was truly glad to see you, whether is was just from the night before or 6 months down the road. You could feel it in his handshake and see it in his smile. You couldn't help get caught up in his stories or his laughter both of which he was always willing to share. Thanks Jack. We will miss you. Love, Teddi and Steve

Dad, we will miss your love and guiandance and all the laughs we shared together. Rest in peace.
