Wendel R. Mildon, 78, of Toledo, passed away unexpectedly on May 7, 2018. He was born in Houghton, Michigan on November 11, 1939 to John and Marcella (Dragoo). Dick graduated from Waite High School and went on to serve in the Air Force. He was a parts auditor for Hydromatic for over 30 years before retiring in 1989. Dick loved antiques and old cars. He lovingly restored a 1957 Chevy convertible and proudly took it to Park and Shine and many other car shows every year.
