Mike and Bill Miletic I wish to express my deepest sympathy to both of your families on the passing of your mother. Your father's recent passing of a few years ago was also very shocking to Wallaceburg residents who were the generation familiar with him as a WDSS teacher of many years. Bill, your familiar smile was very much a reflection of your father's. Mike, I have very early memories of your mother cheering me on as a little league pitcher with you as our team's catcher many years ago (at least 40) at King George Park. She never knew me personally as I aged, however, on any occasion which I saw her speaking with others in the community, she was always very outgoing and friendly. Both of your parents--and your entire family--were part of the everyday activity of Wallaceburg for many years. The town has lost hundreds, if not thousands, of former long-term resident families who have had to leave their home area for both career purposes, as well as more favourable retirement living. Your family was one which was a positve factor for many current and former Wallaceburg people, and made Wallaceburg a finer town to grow and work within overall. Bill, I am certain you have not forgotten the summer of 1977 when we worked for the Town on the Works crew. Quite an interesting summer indeed. We may be better served forgetting most of what occurred however. Mike, I recall the 3 years our peer group endured the halls of W.T. Laing, as well as the WDSS years. It felt as though it were an eternity. Our perception of time certainly changes dramatically as we ourselves age too quickly. I am also quite certain we will be reunited with our departed family members when fulfillment of all things arrives. Once again, deepest sympathy in memory of your mother and father. Both fine people. Be well and prosper, and peace be with your families. Bob Ross, Point Edward, Ontario
