Go with God, Mil - may your soul rest in the peace of the Lord. Thanks for always welcoming me with a smile and a hug when I came for a visit. So many, many memories beginning with Scotch Plains and especially at the Cape. You were an important part of my life, and I will miss you. To Ken, Lisa, Steve - my deepest sympathy and love. He was so proud of all of you and your wonderful families. One of the very best grandpas ever! God bless all of you and bring you his comfort and peace. With love, Rusty
