WUSLICH MILO GEORGE Age 71, of Grand Island, NY, fell asleep in the Lord December 11, 2018 at Buffalo General Medical Center in Buffalo, NY. Born April 29, 1947 in Greensburg, PA, he was the son of the late Miller Wuslich and Mildred (Perich) Wuslich. Surviving are his beloved wife of 43 years, So?a (Zdjelar) Wuslich of Grand Island, NY; son, Mark Wuslich (Natalia Paich); and granddaughter, Melania Wuslich of Moon Township ; as well as a sister, Melissa Marrion (late, Arthur) of Richmond, VA. Milo was proud to grow up in Export, PA and as a member of the St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church (initially in Wilmerding, PA and then later Monroeville, PA). He graduated with high honors from Franklin Regional High School and later from the University of Pittsburgh with distinction. He was a successful businessman and gifted salesman which stemmed from the basics of treating all those he encountered with decency. Milo was a gentle yet strong man of character and integrity who primarily valued his Serbian Orthodox faith and heritage, his many friends and Kumovi, but most importantly, family. Milo served faithfully and sel?essly as Vice President of the St. Stephen Serbian Orthodox Church in Lackawanna, NY for more than 20 years and extensively with Bratska Sloga lodge 248 in Tonawanda, NY. He was an avid golfer which started from his days as a caddy at Westmoreland Country Club when he was a youngster. This later resulted in a scholarship awarded to him from the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association (1964-1968) as well as being lucky enough to score a hole-in-one at Niagara Falls Country Club in 2001. Milo had a tremendous appreciation and love of music, primarily that of choral as well as tamburitza music. Milo was known to have a wonderful singing voice (both bass and tenor) of which he sang with the University of Pittsburgh Men's Glee Club, the St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church Choir, the St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Men's Choir, and the Kosta Manojlovich Choir of Lackawanna, NY. Additionally, both his singing and playing is preserved on albums recorded with both SERBEZ and the Kosta Manojlovich Choir. For the last 10 years or so, Milo played cello with the Adriatic Braca of Tonawanda, NY. Above all else, the true apple of Milo's eye was the arrival of his only grandchild, Melania, in March of 2018. He will undoubtedly watch over her as her guardian angel.
