I have very fond memories of Milt from when we both worked at GP. He was a very warm, friendly and caring man, a real gentleman who always had a smile on his face and a nice thing to say. He will be missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to the family.

I have such fond memories of Milt and Elaine when they lived on the corner of Alabama and St Clair. They bought the property from my father and built their home there. They were such good friends and neighbors. R.I.P Milt, you were a very good man.

Rosemary and I are sorry to hear of uncle Miltons death. We have fond memories of all of you during our visits. I sure had good times there as a kid.
