So sad to hear,
Milko,
an absolute gentleman to work beside, obviously taken way too soon
I hope family and freinds can take some comfort in the fact he was extremely respected and loved by all at the PG,
we’ll miss you Les, but won’t forget.

Milko,
Such a wonderful character who had a great chuckle. It was an honour and a pleasure for us both to have worked with you at the Holden’s Proving Ground (PG) at Lang Lang. The PG was most certainly all the better for you being there. Your honesty, integrity and humour are well remembered. It was our good fortune to have known you as a colleague and friend matey. Rest easy and say hello to Garth for us… Tippin he had a beer waiting for you.
Our deepest condolences to your family… Jo & John Spencer xoxox

Phillip, Karl, John, Allan, Robert & Kathy – I heard about Les today, too late to be part of the rememberances. I worked with Les for a few years in the 70s. He looked after me, and took me back for a number of years. I remember him with appreciation, and wish you all well. Colin Cassells.
