Milo Moen Obituary (1939

"Off to a Car Show" Milo was born April 20, 1939 and passed away peacefully October 20, 2012. He was born in Moorhead, MN to Palmer and Alma Moen. He had numerous interests, but his favorite hobby was creating threads of friendship in all areas of his life in which there were many. He and his wife were the owners of Classic Yachts in Des Moines, WA until retirement in 1995. He was originator of the Chris Craft Rendezvous, the founder of the Minnkota Cruising Club and previously belonged to Tyee Yacht Club, Roche Harbor Yacht Club, Tacoma Yacht Club and currently resided on Fox Island where he was a member of the Fox Island Yacht Club. In his younger years he was involved in stock car racing and that carried over to his love of all automobiles including all the classic cars that he owned. He was a charter member of the Gig Harbor Cruisers and also his classic car coffee group which was a true brotherhood. He enjoyed his winter months at his home in southern California where many friendships were nourished. He loved his time with his grand-daughters and cared very much for his pets. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Monnie; his son Todd (Donna); and his two grand-daughters, Kate and Ally; his sister Pat Lewis (Bob); his step-sisters Janet Richards (Julien) and Joanne Gamache (Gene). He was preceded in death by his father Palmer Moen, his mother Alma Moen Marquart, step-father Joe Marquart and siblings Roger Moen and Joyce Henderson. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Check the Haven of Rest website for the schedule. His online guestbook may be signed at www.havenrest.com.
