• Notes

  The following note from daughter, Janette: He had 2 brothers and 1 sister. In his younger years he helped support the family. For fun, he played minor league baseball on the same team as his brother Melvin. He met Lois through a ftiend and this had a lifelong effect on him. Later marrying, Milan and Lois had 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters. The migratory nature of the road construction industry, in which Milan worked, caused his family to migrate to many states. His family moved with him to follow the work. In 1944 he enlisted and served almost 2 years in the U.S. Navy in the 2nd World War as a Motor Machinists Mate First Class SR. (2-19-44 to 11-17-45.) After he returned from the service he returned to the road construction industry. Seeing better opportunity, he left that kind of work in 1951 and took a job as a master mechanic with Heckett Engineering Company in East Chicago, Indiana. The family then settled in Gary, Indiana, permanently until his retirement in 1971 when he and Lois moved to Cottondale, Florida. After Milan retired, he set up a workshop where he made furniture and did lathe work. He spent many hours creating unique wood bowls and other pieces. He expressed his love for music by playing his harmonica and singing. He was very active in the Cottondale Methodist Church where he sang in the church choir. . His many interests included playing dartball, gardening, watching baseball and football, and working crossword puzzles.
