Milan was an active member of the Upper Canada Branch for many years until last year, when his condition worsened. Serving on the early Executive and for many years, he was one of the main links to our WW II veterans in the Perley Rideau Veterans' Health Centre. His interest in the well being of our veterans in the Perley Rideau cannot be expressed in words.

A gentleman to the end.
