His nickname was MICKEY.

My Father & his Uncle Milford were inseparable as children, tho they were Uncle (MILFORD) & Nephew (VOYLE) , they were in the same age-group & my Father felt more of a Brother to Milford than Nephew or Friend. I have fotos of them as young men playing with guns.

I have very fond memories of visiting my Uncle Milford & Aunt Nellie, shooting my BeeBee gun with my Cousins , Roger, Gary, & Rickey.

I remember visiting with them while my Sister Shielah, was staying with Clifford & Bessie. Their Dtr Laurinda is the same age as Shielah. She remembers those visits very well.

We saw much more of Milford & Nellie because of My Dad's closeness with Milford. When I was a Kid We generally saw them a few times a year. My Dad just hated to travel so Milford & Nellie were always coming by with their Sons. We had a lot of fun.
