John A. Mileon

 John A. Mileon, 98, of Lowell, died Wednesday, July 29th at Lowell General Hospital. He was the beloved husband of the late Athena (Lelos) Mileon who died May 31, 2013.
 Born in Andros, Greece, March 25, 1917, a son of the late George and the late Katina (Andrellos) Mileon, he received his education in New York City schools.
