It is with a heavy heart that I offer my condolences to Terry and the entire Milko family at the passing of Ted. Ted and I worked very closely together for over 20 years in the Warren City School system and we became great friends. I knew Ted very well. Even though he was accomplished at so many things, he was always humble, a man of faith, integrity, and true character. Ted, you will be missed.

To the Milko family,
I am so sorry to hear about Br. Milko. I remember when I was little and we sat behind your family at the Kingdom Hall, he could wrap his hands around the songbook and behind his back, at that! I was easily impressed 🙂 I look forward to seeing him again to learn some woodworking and guitar and get to know him again, along with Terri. I love you guys, may Jehovah give you calmness of heart and peaceful thoughts in the days that come.
Terri Milko
