Some Canadians on tMP may know my father-in-law, Major Al Milley. He was Promoted to Glory just before 9.00pm Saturday evening after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. He was a member of the Earlscourt Citadel Band before becoming an officer and was well known for his skills on the piano. I was privileged to know him and to call him "Dad".
Deepest Sympathy John: I heard a name mentioned Monday morning just before practice started, but was not able to follow the conversation which I had overheard. I am sorry to hear that the Major had died. Please pass on my condolences to your family.
Thanks for the kind words. The service today was very moving and an amazing tribute to a very good man. In spite of there being a major winter storm, the place was packed.
