My sincere condolences to the Milan Wolf Family.
I was so sorry to learn about Milan’s passing. Many great memories and fun times from the jobsite to picking blueberries and watching Milan do what he loved, polka dancing.
We met 34 years ago when we worked together as laborers.
Rest in Peace Milan.

Sorry to hear this but also you were so blessed to have him at 91. Great guy who loved his family. I always thought your dad and mine looked alot alike. After my dad passed, sometimes I’d do a double take in church and smile. Enjoy the memories.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, Marsha and Marty and the family. I will forever have my memories of my uncle Milan on the farm. He was always a quiet, thoughtful person, I never heard him raise his voice or say negative things about people. He was humble and kind. A good man that will always be in our hearts and memories.
