    So sad to see the last of the Prouty men of that generation gone! And so soon after Shirley as well. May God be with you as you mourn. Thinking of your families at this sad time. I will always have good memories of Milford and Shirley. Dad and Milford were such good friends in their youth!

    I am so sorry to learn of this. I have fond memories of visits as a child, so many long years ago, with my Dad (Stewart) who was Milford’s cousin. Dad always thought so highly of Milford…

    Larry and Diane, John and Betty Anne, and families, you have our sincere sympathy in the passing of your Dad. What a shock so soon after your Mom, he just wanted to be with the Lord and everyone else. It will be a real homecoming event up there.
