Military honors will be provided by the Ord VFW Post 7029 and American Legion Post 38. Ord Memorial Chapel is in charge of arrangements. Mr. Florian was born Aug. 14, 1932, on the family farm in Greeley County to Louis and Mary (Wachtrle) Florian. Survivors of the immediate family include his wife, Dolores of Ord; two daughters and a son-in-law, Joyce and Rob Mangers of Roseland and Sharon Penner of Grand Island; two sons and a daughter-in-law, Chuck of Markee, Russia, and Bruce and Libby of Hastings; and nine grandchildren. Milo was raised on the farm and attended rural country school. In February 1953, Milo entered the U.S. Army and served in the Korean War. Following his discharge in December 1954, Milo returned to the family farm. On Oct. 27, 1956, Milo was united in marriage to Dolores Zadina at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Ord. The couple resided and raised their family on the family farm in Greeley County. Milo farmed, ranched and had dairy cows until 2001. At that time, Milo and Dolores moved into Ord. Milo's passion for farming, tractors and machinery continued as he helped local farmers during his retirement years. Milo was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and VFW. Past memberships included Ord Elks Lodge and Knights of Columbus. His hobbies included fishing, building yard ornaments and "tinkering in the shop." Milo was often seen driving his Model A and his moped around town. He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Linda Jean Florian; four brothers, Aldrich, Louie, Edward and Jerome Florian; and two sisters, Mildred Synovec and Lillian Christensen.
