I’ve known Milan since the early days of both of our businesses and worked with him on a fairly regular business. He was a pleasure to work with and he will be greatly missed.
I have known Milan Moss since I came to work for Portac in 1975. He was such a wonderful man. He was good to his staff and those that had a business relationship with him. He will be greatly missed.
I worked for Milan for 5yrs. and never had a boss
that was as kind as him. He will be missed very much
but now Gwen are together once again. Thank you Milan
once again.
