Such a fun loving brother...a personality that would wrap around the world and back. He could bring you out of a bad mood and make you wonder why you were so down in the dumps. A jokester, a clown, and the best friend you could ever find. So many fun times we had growing up that I wasn't ready to let go. He sure made my 3 kids laugh, with all the funny things he had to say and share with them. Sure gonna miss him, sure gonna cry, sure wish we could have got on his sickness before it all came to this. He could sure win you over with that personality and smile. He was known as Smilen Milan to many people. Your little sister, Marnie
