Mr. Des Forges is a kind loving soul, I'll always remember him as a loving brother of St. Emeric Church. We take for granted the nice kind faces but have hope that we will see brother Milton again in Paradise, Amen! Rest in love brother Milton.

Milt was a great uncle, had so many fun sleep overs up in the attic with my cousins. We knew we were in trouble when we heard him coming up the stairs with his slipper, we got quiet real fast

I will surley miss my longtime friend. For many years he and I would set up the St Emeric picnic and argue a bit about how to do it. But then we had a regular weekly visit to Mrs. Ol'leary's pub for Guinness. Goodbye old friend.
