| We hope you all enjoy this site and find it a comforting reminder of a good friend. We also hope it helps remind you of how Milos led his life - with great passion. We hope you do the same. | |
| From Yosh Hakutani 18 Jan 2001 | |
| There are so many things that we loved and admired in Milos - if each of us can choose one thing about him to incorporate within ourselves - we are all better people for it - and his memory will live on. | |
| From Andy Gajewski 18 Jan 2001 | |
| Like any true friend, Milos went that extra mile beyond what is required in order to help out a friend in need. For that I am eternally grateful and I hope to be as good of a friend to others. | |
| From Charlie Cherry 18 Jan 2001 | |
| Milos was and always will be an inspiration to me. I have never met anyone with such enthusiasm for all things artistic, philosophical, spiritual, and even mechanical. He was always eager to share his knowledge. Milos was always the first person I would ask for advice. His wisdom and compassion can only be admired. I will forever remember him as a true friend. | |
| From Christopher Moyer 18 Jan 2001 | |
| Milos' passing is a very sad event for his family and friends, and I wish to offer them my condolences. I hope that eventually, when the shock of this event subsides, his family and friends will be able to take at least a bit of solace in the fact that Milos died doing something he enjoyed, although I am sure that can only be a small comfort. I especially wish his family the best, and encourage them to rely on each other and their friends for support in making it through this tragic event. -Chris | |
| From Ryan Catucci 18 Jan 2001 | |
| I had the pleasure of working with Milos a bit when I was helping ANdy with the CCA web site. He was a great person to deal with, and was truly skilled at his work. Best wishes to his family and other friends. | |
| From Katie Zanger 18 Jan 2001 | |
| Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. - - Anonymous | |
| From Mike, Kane and Paul Erickson 19 Jan 2001 | |
| God-Speed my friend. You touched our lives deeply. Until we meet again.. | |
| From Carolyn 21 Jan 2001 | |
| I had not heard of Milos before this. Reading the stories made me shed a few tears. VW and their Corrado has brought and still brings so much joy to peoples' lives. Corrados were his passion and we can all relate to that. In memory of his passion, every time you see a Corrado honk, wave, smile, even say a prayer for Milos. He probably has the best view of all the Corrados in the world from up there. *one love* | |
| From Kenny Murdoch 22 Jan 2001 | |
| Back in May I was looking to buy my first Corrado. I knew very little about the car and stumbled across an ad for Milos' car. I talked to him for a while on the phone and he taught me alot about the car that night. I was so excited I was two steps from buying air tickets to fly to Florida to buy his Corrado. Milos talked me out of it because he said "It's not the right Corrado for you," and he asked me to call him or e-mail him if I ever came up with additional questions. I had many questions and sent many e-mails; each time Milos replied back and helped me even more. I see that he was a caring and patient man. It is clear to see that he will be missed. Thank you Milos, Kenny. | |
| From Barbara Mann 22 Jan 2001 | |
| Milos was a dear friend and confidant and I am very touched by the kind thoughts expressed in this site. Our daughter Hannah is only six and the memory of her father will surely fade over the years. If anyone would like to take the time to remember Milos in an e-mail to his daughter, we would both appreciate it greatly. Although Hannah doesn't fully understand what happened to her father, I know that it would be a wonderful gift if she could share your memories of her Dad in years to come. Note from the WebMaster: if you wish to send an email to Hannah and her mother, please send it to children_of_milos_coric@hotmail.com and we will make sure that it is forwarded. Thank You. | |
| From Damir 23 Jan 2001 | |
| Sorry to hear this sad thing happen, especially to one of my old countrymen. I'm from Bosnia and even though our peoples had some differences over there, I feel sorry that someone with such passion had to leave us. >>>Neces biti zaboravljen!<<< | |
| From Vinko Stojic 23 Jan 2001 | |
| I knew Milos while he was still here, in Belgrade, and his parents too. He was a unique person even then, when he was much, much younger. He used to give me my first lessons in computers and I admired his wits and skills, he spilled around him with best intentions and love for his friends and colleagues. I lost touch with him after he left Belgrade, but he will remain a shining star among people I love and care for and I'll remember him forever. Rest in peace you restless soul! | |
| From Vincent Shek 23 Jan 2001 | |
| I met Milos only for a short time during Waterfest 3 years ago and I have not forgotten his passion about his car and his fellow Corrado friends. You will be missed..Vincent | |
| From Milos Miljenovic 23 Jan 2001 | |
| I didn't know my namesake personally - I didn't have a chance to introduce him. But, knowing his parents, here in Belgrade, and their enormous grieve for him. I do believe this site will be of great solace for them if anything can be at all. They can see how, thanks to his abilities and his personality, their son was friendly and with appreciation accepted in new and totally different milieu. My condolence to his wife Anne. Milos Miljenovic, Belgrade | |
| From Jill Margraff 24 Jan 2001 | |
| Some of my fondest memories of Milos are sitting at the computer and learning new software or trying to figure out what was wrong with a sick cpu. I remember back at Kenney, one day, working for hours trying to bring a crashed computer back and getting thoroughly fustrated. Finally, Milos put his hand on top of the box and said "the power of Stalin commands you." It didn't quite work, but was good for a laugh. We finally did bring that box back up, and later I asked if he could make me an honorary geek. He did. I had many other good memories, grabing a beer after work and test driving the Corrado I bought. What I will miss the most is the advice he would give me on all different topics -men, work, or whatever. He seemed to have a way of getting me to look at a situation from another angle, which helped me to gain a better perspective on a situation. So, now I will have to go deep in my thoughts to seek his advice, and hopefully he will still be there. | |
| From Jerry Coddington 24 Jan 2001 | |
| Like Milos I own a Corrado and a motorcycle ('98 Triumph). I'm sure he was a good guy and is deeply missed. My condolences to his family and friends. | |
| From Justis Kivari 25 Jan 2001 | |
| I wish I had met Milos Coric. Through the shared thoughts, I was reminded of how important friends are. I can only hope that I am as good a friend to those who know me as Milos was to all of that knew him. May God bless the family and friends of this great man and fellow Corrado driver. | |
| From Bob Eisele 25 Jan 2001 | |
| He was my comrade in arms in the existential war against whatever was irking us that day. No one murdered the idiom the way he did -- it was a beautiful thing. I love him and I'll miss him. | |
| From Patty Hanbury 25 Jan 2001 | |
| I did not know Milos very long and I obviously did not know the "whole" Milos. But one thing I know, it was an honor to have known him at all. | |
| From Theresa Rocca 26 Jan 2001 | |
| To know Milos was to love him. It was impossible not too. I am so greatful that I was able to call him my friend. He could make me laugh and most importantly he could make me see thing in a different way, Milos had a truly great prespective on every situation. How many of us have that gift? It was so weird; once Milos got to know you, he know every like and dislike, and you could talk for hours. I still remember when he left Philadelphia to go to Florida, Milos would call often, he made it a point to call me first thing on a Monday morning just to tell me I must see "Analyze This" he just knew it would crack me up. I also loved his reaction when he found out I was being replaced by a computer - all he said was "From now on I will only use E-Mail". What a truly wounderful person, I will love hime and miss him always. | |
| From Hannah Coric Mann 27 Jan 2001 | |
| Dad was a good man. He gave me whatever I wanted. I will miss him | |
| From Kamila Werra 27 Jan 2001 | |
| Even though I knew Milos for a short period of time, he was one of those people who will never be forgotten. His generosity and enthusiasm for life was like a sunbeam that lit up the world around him. May a lifetime of wonderful memories give strength to his family and those who knew him... | |
| From Ying Lopez 28 Jan 2001 | |
| Reminders about Milos used to bring me smiles during grocery shopping (Salt & Vinegar chips, Peeps, Fluff, and let's not forget, sushi), browsing at Best Buy for open box items, hearing Annie Lenox or hard core bands - the list goes on. It now brings me sad tears, but hopefully in time, I'll only be filled with warm thoughts. He was simply a wonderful person. My condolences to his family and friends. | |

| just a dull thickness - covering a deep river of feelings - flowing wildly inside ~~ no doubts - no fears - just waiting ~~ ignoring myself - thinking only of things - don't ask me to explain ~~ wanting the peace - of resting deep in your arms - smelling you | |
| From Parents Radmila and Djordje & grandchildren 04 Feb 2001 | |
| On the occasion of the tragic death of our only son and our father Milos, unfortunate parents mother Radmila, father Djordje and his daughters Sasha and Nina Coric and Hannah Coric-Mann, express their most profound gratitude to all Milos' friends, companions and his colleagues for participating in our lifelong grieve for our pride - our son Milos Coric. | |
| From Nihad Ajan 26 Feb 2001 | |
| I am a fellow country man and also a VW lover. I had never met or heard of Milos but reading the stories, it not only touched everyone but myself. I myself love Corrados and understand his passion. In memory of Milos maybe one day they will make a new Corrado. I believe Milos is in a good place and despite everything that happened back in the homeland (myself being from Bosnia) it is sad to hear more of our people going... But his impact on many people will never be forgotten... ---Da te bog cuva----- | |
| From Lynell Wilcha 14 Mar 2001 | |
| Milos was truly one of a kind... intelligent, kind, funny and right on the "marky-marky", he just had a way of saying things that brough new perspective. Every day, no matter what I do, something reminds me of his wonderful ways. | |
| From Damir Becirbegovic 02 Apr 2001 | |
| I would like to pay my respects to the family of Milos Coric. I am a proud soon to be owner of a 1993 SLC VR6 Corrado and I am also from Yugoslavia. Molim vas primite moje saucesce. | |
| From Alex Lewin 21 Apr 2001 | |
| I happened upon a link to this memorial on the AWE web site. I was touched. Milos, you sound like the kind of person, generous with his love, who makes the world a better place. I am thinking of you now, and I will try my best to follow your example. | |
| From John W. Safranek 10 Jun 2001 | |
| Everyone should be so fortunate to have and know a man such as this in our lives. Take nothing for granted. JS | |
| From Nick Kovacs 27 Jun 2001 | |
| It is said that a person can be measured by the number of people that they touch. In Milos case it seems that list is vast. I am sorry that I never met him. My most sincerest condolences to his family. | |
| From Jansonta Michitilia 01 Jul 2001 | |
| Milos I loved you. You were a great person. I hope you know that you will be missed dearly, and I will charish you for the rest of your life. P.S. En nem is tudom hogy ki a fasz vagy | |
| From Miran Mehic (from Mostar, B&H) 25 Jul 2001 | |
| I would like to know when Milos left Yugoslavia. I am a survivor of the war that took place in Yugoslavia from 1991-1995, so, naturally I am hurt to see someone pass away after they got out of that vicious war. Milos was born in the same year as my mother, and at that young age, my heart goes out to his family. You will find strength in the ones you love. Good luck to you. | |

| One night I sent angels to take care of you,but they came back to me and told me:"Angels can not take care of angels!" Love you | |
| From Anne 07 Nov 2001 | |
| Happy Birthday, moje mica. Volim te od neba do zemlje. | |
| From bkk 07 Nov 2001 | |
| Happy Birthday, old man! Some things never change, don't you worry. | |
| From Jason Livingood 07 Nov 2001 | |
| Today would have been Milos' 39th birthday. We miss him and wish we could have shared an Ommegang beer with him today! | |
| From Slaven 13 Feb 2002 | |
| Goodbye fellow countryman. I never knew you but the love your friends have for you is beyond measure. It is sad when such a wonderful person leaves us. | |
| From anne 07 Nov 2002 | |
| HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MILOS! Missing you as much as always.... | |
| From Yosh Hakutani 07 Nov 2003 | |
| Hello Old Man - Happy Birthday. Been thinking about you... | |
| From Hannah Mann 16 Jan 2004 | |
| My dad was the BEST dad ever! | |
| From ANdy 26 Jan 2004 | |
| We have not forgotten you Milos, even during these cold, cold winter days. Thinking of you makes the days so much warmer! | |
| From Bojan Bacevic 14 May 2004 | |
| Moje najiskrenije saucesce porodici i veliko zaljenje zbog Miloseve smrti. Pozdravi od vlasnika Corrada iz Beograda. | |
| From John W. Safranek 21 Jul 2004 | |
| Somehow I got back on this web site and I din not immediately know why . . . but after revisiting the comments about Milos's life, I now know. I read Mark's recent comments about Milos loving to learn but living to teach, and it all became clear to me. I left the profession of teaching a year ago to go back to "work," but have been absolutely miserable, like a dead man walking. Finding this site again and reading about Milos has been like a deep, cleansing breath. Milos lives on as people that never knew him somehow benefit from his life's example. Someday soon I will get to meet you Milos, my bohemian brother. LOVE & PEACE | |
| From Yosh Hakutani 08 Nov 2004 | |
| Sigh. Another birthday gone by. Always thinking about you, old man! | |
| From Hannah Coric Mann 20 Nov 2004 | |

| And still, i wait... | |
| From Ron Grant 20 Jan 2005 | |
| I stumbled across this site, searching for info on K75s. What an incredible person! What an incredible site! This loving tribute makes Milos live for those of us who never had the chance to meet him in person. | |
| From Hannah 11 Apr 2005 | |
| well .. dad i wanted to say hi because im turning 11 soon .. im going to see nina, sasa, marina and your parents in 17 days .. and thats about it. i love you! Your youngest daughter hannah | |
| From Eamonn O'Regan, Ireland 08 Jun 2005 | |
| I never met Milos, but from numerous testimonials to him,he was evidently quite a man and a dear friend to many people, who remember him with affection. He was into classic vehicles and enjoyed his all-to -brief time with his friends. As we say in Ireland, God be good to him. | |
| From Glenn Alcock UK Corrado Enthusiast 03 May 2005 | |
| I did not know Milos but have owned Corrados for a few years now. Most Corrado owners I have met are very passionate,nice friendly people and it's obvious that Milos was one too. It's unfortunate we never had an opportunity to meet. | |
| From Ana 05 Jan 2006 | |
| Saffy and I still miss you terribly...and the squeaky chair haunts me. | |

| From lynell wilcha 02 Oct 2006 | |
| It is often I think of Milos. I had not visited this site for a while, but working late decided I needed some diversion and did. While scrolling down the site, I "completely" forgot that his birthday was November 7th. I now have two Jack Russell-Pugs. My first I got was born on April 28th 2003. My Second was born on November 7th 2004. Now being remided of Milos' Birthday, I think a bit of Milos' spirit is in Rex and explains a lot! Strage BUT TRUE! I just called Milos, and Rex came to my side. This being the first realization, all I can say is WOW! I do not believe in this kind of thing but can only say, Rex has talked (OK, barked), challenged me and continued to do things that are very Milos-like. Go figure! | |
| From Ana 07 Nov 2006 | |
| How is it that the soul of one so impresses itself on that of another? So many people, so indelibly marked by this man...in so many good ways. Missing you is as much a part of life as breathing. Happy Birthday, woofie. | |
| From B 11 May 2007 | |
| still cutmylb. it has become my life's work. Next time? If your spidey senses are tingling, that's telling you something. You knew. | |
| From C 05 Jan 2008 | |
| Maybe we'll take that trip tonight...the promised one to Venice. Go to the place in the picture. Maybe that's where you went, 'cuz i still can't believe you're not coming home. | |
