You have made some decent points there. I checked on the internet for additional information about the
issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this website.
Joseph Andrew “Joe” Milan
Sep 25, 1935 - May 31, 2022
age 86, of Armstrong Creek, unexpectedly passed away on May 31, 2022. He was born on September 25, 1935. He was a 1953 graduate of Goodman High School. After High School Joseph started his career at Cracker Jack in Chicago, IL. He quickly changed his profession to a Machinist at Carl G. Wicklander in Chicago, with his best friends Frank Gudowicz and Paul Renkas. In 1968, Joseph moved his family back to Armstrong Creek. Joe immediately found employment with Louisiana-Pacific through his retirement with Goodman Forest Ind. for over 30 years. In 1970 Joseph built a repair and welding shop in the original Armstrong Creek Grocery Store and he expanded the shop in 1972 with the help of his father Andrew. Joseph was an excellent welder and machinist that was matched by few and far between.
Joseph always gave without a thought of himself, he was a person who never hesitated to give all of himself. He was a true community inspiration. He will always be remembered by his strong working hands and his willingness and determination to keep all local loggers and farmers equipment up and running whether it was a for money or bartering for wood or food. Joseph always helped his neighbor.

Joe and I were in the largest class ever at Goodman High School and took many classes together over the 4 years from 1949-1953. He was a good friend and a cheerful classmate. He played on the football team for 4 years including an undefeated season in 1952. We ran the half mile race in track together in 1953. We also shared 4 years of chorus and band.

Uncle Joey was a strong willed, strong minded Man. He helped anyone that needed help and all he asked for was respect and kindness in return. His passing has left a huge hole in our family. We will remember him sitting outside the garage or walking to the shop. Rest In Peace because you will forever remain in our hearts.
