Grandpa I have lots and lots of great memories. You were such a sweet and hard working man. But one I never forget is that you always had to mush your chocolate cake and ice cream together and grandma would warm it up just a touch and you ate like a soup. ❤️ Love you and miss you always! I know you already gave grandma smooches for us all !!! ❤️You ~ Sarah

To the family of Milford, I cut Milford's hair many times when I owned my salon in Argyle. Milford was one of the hardest workers I knew, all you had to do was take a look at his hands, they told you how hard he worked. May he rest peacefully.. Elaine Vogel
