On the morning of Sept. 11th,2006 my father Joseph F. Milko,Jr. passed away from a massive heart attack at the Niagara River Beagle Club,in Alexander,N.Y. Dad had stayed over night and was going to leave in the morning after spending a weekend with his Family,Friends,and his hounds. He got the call of the Huntsman's Horn calling him to come to a better place and to hunt with all of his hounds that have gone before him.After 43 years of Bassets i know he has one hell of a pack!!! Good-bye Dad
