ONAWA, Iowa | Milo Raymond Stanislav, 85, of Onawa, formerly of Blencoe, Iowa, passed from the arms of his family to the loving arms of God on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014, in Kansas City, Mo., from complications related to cardiac surgery.

Milo Raymond Stanislav was born on Aug. 31, 1929, in Valparaiso, Neb., the son of George E. and Agnes (Vlcan) Stanislav.

Milo married his red-headed sweetheart, Mary Walker on April 14, 1951, at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Blencoe. They have been married for 63 years. A career farmer, Milo was a devoted family man, a proud grandpa, a fisherman, shrewd card player, avid reader, bowler. He was a horseshoe player, and was no stranger to polka and square dancing. He served for more than a decade on the board of the Blencoe Co-op, and was a much-loved member of the community with a true servant’s heart.

Religion was a driving force in his life. Milo was a lifelong member of St. Bernard’s in Blencoe and St. John’s in Onawa. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, once holding the position of Grand Knight.
