Milo Matijasevich Obituary

Matijasevich, Milo J. 65 passed away suddenly August 6, 2003, at the Cook County Hospital in Grand Marais, MN. He was born and raised in California and in 1968 moved with his family to the Chicago area. He has been the General Fleet Manager for Al Piemonte Ford in Melrose Park, IL since 1971. In 1972, he and his wife Dixie bought their property on Clearwater Lake in Grand Marais, MN. Their cabin became this favorite place to be both summer and winter. He was a much loved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He was also a wonderful friend to many people all across the country both personally and professionally. He will be greatly missed by all. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son Lyndon, daughter Mila (Robin), son Mark (Sylvia), his two beloved grandsons, Joseph and Charles, his sister Rose Ann and many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department, 468 Clearwater Rd., Grand Marais, MN, 55604, would be very much appreciated. A get together in his memory will be held at Al Piemonte Ford, 2500 W. North Ave., Melrose Park, Il, Sunday, August 17th at 3 p.m.

Never a dull moment in the office with Milo. He was a wonderful man with a witty, straight forward sense of humor. I loved him and will miss him every day. I wish to express my sincere sympathy to Dixie and his children. Milo will always be in my prayers.

I was very sorry to hear about Milo's untimely passing. I've been a customer and fellow member of the Automotive Fleet and Leasing Association with Milo since 1976. He was a good man and will be greatly missed by a large number of people. I'd like to express my sincere sympathies to his family and the staff at Al Piemonte.

Dixie and Family

Jim and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Milo was loved by many and we count ourselves as fortunate to have been a good friend. He will be missed dearly. But his sense of humor will continue as we recount the numerous practical jokes that he was the instigator of...He made us smile and not take life too seriously, enjoy it..as he did.

Here's to you Milo!
