Will miss you and Mom every day….
Will miss you and Mom every day….
We will miss a kind and wonderful friend Peter as we miss Tullita.They are together in heaven. God bless the family
So sorry for your lost. Mr. Milone was a wonderful gentleman, one that was truly a pleasure to wait on. I served him at StellarOne Bank for many years. May the peace of God be with his family.
Peter and Tulla were great people to know and “party” with. They will both be missed on the tennis courts, pool and we enjoyed sharing a GREAT meal with them!!
To the Milone family Tulla and Peter were the most together couple we have ever known. We have been so fortunate to have had them in our lives and to have called them friends. Please accept our thoughts and prayers at this time.
we were saddened by the news of Peter’s death. We’ll always remember the good times with Peter and Tulla enjoying their hospitality and friendship. I also think of the good time3s singing with the barber shop chorus. May he rest in peace.
We are honored to have been friends with Peter. He was a wonderful man, husband and father. We will always have fond memories of Peter And Tulla.
My deepest condolences to the Milone Family. I met Mr. Milone years ago through my Mom Ruth Pineo. Mr & Mrs Milone were always so kind to all of us, specially to my brother Perry.
Peter, Steven, Paul and Gregory I am fortunate to have many wonderful memories of Uncle Peter, Tante Bergliot and their Men. Mari-Pat, Robert and Eric join me sending condolences on your loss. He was very proud of you.
Pete defined the term, “A gentleman and a scholar”… I can still recall the quick smile, soft chuckle, incisive mind. He and Tulla were warm, gracious people – we were fortunate to know them. May God bless their family.
We have had the privilege of knowing Pete Milone for over 30 years. What a gentleman he was. I loved the way he called and said, “Peter Milone,here” and always enjoyed hearing that voice with tales of his journeys. He has left a legacy that we can only hope that others will follow and remember. We are so glad to have known you, Pete, and know that you and your dear wife are once again traveling together.
Dear Friends…I hold all the Milones in prayer. Memories stirred–how gracious your father/grandfather was to all and how devoted to his wife and family! He will be missed! A favorite scripture in Romans 14 says “whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s!” I picture Jesus holding your parents gently in his arms while embracing all of you with what you need to go thru’ the hard work of grief. Mostly, I celebrate Easter’s promise with you!
