Milton was a great supporter of my music and was a true friend. I have been out of touch with him for many years and am truly grieved to hear of his passing. He was a gentle soul and a faithful friend for the short time we were acquainted. I'm grateful to have known him!

I'm terribly late in learning about Milton's passing but wanted to say I feel so blessed to have met him and worked with him. He was a wonderful friend and person. We had many great conversations and experiences way back when he was played the part of Miles on my television series called Gerbert. Blessings on Milton's family and all who also, like all of us who worked with him on the show, loved him.

I first met Milt at UCLA in the early 80's. He stayed with me at my fraternity house during one of those summmers. He also stayed with me in LA on a few occassions when he was traveling back and forth from the East Coast. We shared a lot of good times over the years but I fell out of contact with Milt after I went through a divorce in 1995. Milt was one of the most sincere, kind-hearted, genuine, trustworthy, honest, affable, sincere and talented persons I have ever had the privilige of knowing. I just can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace brother.

I was just on the computer searching Milton on google tonight when I found out the news of his passing. It has probably been close to 20 years or more since I had seen Milton but he has always been in my thoughts. I can remember his laugh, and how he would always have the best advice to offer. He spent some time in this area and did some volunteering at church with plays and such. He will forever hold a special place in myself and my family's hearts. I still have an autographed picture that he gave me before he moved away to California. Rest in Peace Milton, you will be missed.

I just learned about the Clark family's loss of Milton from the Media Facebook page. Like so many others, I had lost touch with members of our neighborhood when I moved away; however I remember fondly the era having lived across the street from the Clark family. May everyone be comforted by remembering his contributions to our lives.

Milton was one of those rare people that you remember because he was very special. If he was in a room people would gather around him just to enjoy his company. So sorry that he left us too soon - he was truly a gem...

Like many others, I came across this information after Googling Milton's name. I am so sorry to learn that Milton passed awy so young. It is amazing to read how so many people found Milton to be such a wonderful person and he obviously made each one of us feel as if we were good friends.
I was in Drama school with Milton at The University of Southern California in the early 80's. We performed in a rock show together on campus. The last time that I saw Milton was years later, at an audition in Washington, DC. I was so excited to see him that I think I blew our audition! Afterwards, I intorduced Milton to my father and my son who was just a toddler at the time. I had to get back to Baltimore to go to work, so I couldn't take Milton up on his offer to grab some lunch. He was so very talented and I was glad to know that he was still performing.
I will always remember Milton Clark, Jr. I know that we will see each other again some day.
May you all find comfort in knowing that Milton is with our Lord now.

I am genuinely saddened to read about Milton's passing. Of all of the people in my life, I think it is fair to say that Milton had the best attitude of anyone I have ever met. We became friends at USC back in the mid-1980s. Milton came home with me to Eastern Oregon one spring break, and we went snowmobiling to my family's cabin in the mountains. I remember coming around a corner where Milton had wrecked. The snowmobile was up-side-down in a tree well. There was stuff all strewn around the trail, and Milton was laying on his back laughing so hard, I thought he was going to cry.
We lost touch after I graduated and left school, but I have always thought about him. Today I just happened to Google his name, and I just sat in front of my computer with my mouth wide open. I am so sorry that he is gone. I know he is with Jesus. God bless you Milton. I will miss you.

Just Googling old names of old friends from years gone by and pulled up this news about Milt. Shocking and sad. I was the director of the Lansdale dinner theatre that Milt was with for a year back in the mid-80's. I've thought of him a lot over the last year - when Dreamgirls came out and Hudson did her star turn, I always remembered Milt doing "I'm Changing" and blowing everyone away with that amazing voice. A loving Christian man back then with a huge smile and an outgoing manner that drew people to him. May God bless and comfort his family.

I just found out and am shocked. I was going thru a box of old college papers and came across Milton's headshots when he got an L.A. agent. I thought I'd look him up and instead found this terrible news. I knew Milton at SUNY Binghamton. We hung out quite a bit and I knew him pretty well. Great guy. Always had a smile and that huge laugh. What a voice. I don't know the circumstances of his death but he went too young. I will always remember him and will always take a little of his infectious smile with me thru life. I uploaded a scan of his acting photo at http://web.me.com/peterbohush/iWeb/Bohush/Images/miltonclarkjr.jpg. God bless, Milton. Peter Bohush, Los Angeles

Oh dear. I didn't know! Milton was one of my earliest friends. We went to our first middle school dance together at media Jr. High - giving each other courage to face this scary "social" event at the place where both of us were bullied because of our having gone to Media Friends School. People wanted to see what would make a Quaker fight, in those war-in-Viet Nam days. Milton put himself between me and harm, I tried to do the same for him because we were little f friends. Classmates and teachers had opinions on that too, but we were 13 and none of that made much sense.
We grew up, went in different directions, but I always thought he was out there somewhere being his wonderful self.
Thinking of you, Clark family!

This is sad to me. I knew Milton from Bosley many years ago. I developed a great friendship with him there. I will always remember Milt's larger than life laugh and stature.

Milton is a friend of mine and always will be. I am going to Calf. with one of my daughters to look at colleges and looked Milt up to play tennis. I am sorry the game will have to wait until that day I join him in Heaven. He would always say when he left his friends at SUNY Binghamton, NY -"Here, there or in the air!" I now know it will be in the air! Milt was always kind and thinking of others before himself and is missed by many.

My name is Terrah, I did a play in California with Milton. He and I were very close friends and lost contact in the early-mid 90's. I had been looking for him for some time now. I just happened to google his name and found out. I know it's been some time but I still would love to send my blessings to his family and I will always have fond, wonderful memories of Milton.

Milt was a great person to work with at Bosley. He was always so funny and kind. I remember at Christmas every year he always wore a gold ribbon on his head set. Such a funny guy, great actor too.
God Bless you Milt and your family too.

Good Lord! I only heard today! I am shocked to say the least. I work at Bosley and I always loved Milt! His big booming voice, the great smile - he was Sunshine entering the room. I remember one Christmas he sang for us - he could bring tears to your eyes with his beautiful voice. He was so full of life and laughter. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
What a man!

I have a lot of fond memories of Milton. We met at a leadership conference in 1979. We lost touch the last 5 years or so. We lived together the summer of 1984 in Lewisburg. We were able to take some wonderful trips together (Paradise Island w/ Merv Tones, Ocean City MD, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe). He sang at my wedding in 1985. My condolences to Mrs. Clark and her family. Milton will be missed but never forgotten.

I was a close friend of Milt's in Los Angeles when we worked at the same firm, Bosley. Milton's warmth and humor is something I will never forget. I attempted to keep in contact with him after he returned to Philly (and I to New York) and I didn't know until 2 days ago that he had passed.
I would appreciate it greatly if someone from Milt's family contacted me and talked to me a little about Milt's last days. I will miss him.

I worked with Milton at Bosley Medical for about 5 years. I still remember him talking about pay day as "24 hrs of wealth". He lightend up things a lot. You never knew when he was going to break into a rendition of Cabaret. I was really saddened to see that he had passed, but he is not forgotten. I'm glad he got home for the last year or so of his life.

It's obvious that Milton touched many. Like others he was a great part of my high school experience. So much laughter and fun. It's too soon to lose him, and I will always smile when I think of him.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Phyllis, When Wes opened our Daily Times and called me in to see Milton's name and picture, I just could not believe it was true. I know that Scott has sent you a message of all the good times with Milton at our home. But Wes and I would just like to add our fond memories of a young man who was so kind to everyone and very caring. We were always at the baseball games rooting for Milt to just get to that base. Wes said he could hit the ball farther than any of the other kids but running was a problem. We cheered him on and he made it!! Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Clark family, my younger brother sent me this. He is three years younger than Milton and me, but Milton was a person who touched our entire family. Kent wrote to me "So sorry to hear this news. He was certainly one of the good guys. Still remember his smiling eyes and his great belly laugh."

Dear Mrs. Clark, My mother called me with the news. Milton, among so many other things, was our Santa one year, appearing at our door one Christmas eve, without warning, in full costume. A photo was taken on a cheap camera, and it hung in their home until they finally moved out last fall. That was just one of the many surprises he always delighted us with. One night, I was watching PBS. The show ended five minutes before the hour. They put on a short subject about how keys work. A man walked to the door whistling, but his face was not in the picture. They showed a close-up of his hand inserting the key. Mind you, I had not seen Milton in a decade, but I jumped out of my seat because I knew it was his hand. I spent days tracking him down and he confirmed. My mother and father and my brothers all wish that you and Milton's siblings can smile more than you cry as time passes. I will.

Milton,
It had been almost 30 years since we had last seen each other -- when you walked up and gave me a bear hug at our 30th reunion. And no time had passed. I'll always remember you singing "Old Man River" when we did "Hello Dolly" together at Three Little Bakers after high school. That was the beginning of your professional acting career (and the end of mine). You and your family are in my prayers and you will be missed by your many dear friends.
God Bless,

I went through some old photos, as I was looking forward to the Penncrest 30th reunion. I came across a photo of Milton on the bus tour to sing at the White House. Everyone in the Penncrest Choir loved Milton. He made everyone chuckle. I was so blessed to have gotten to see him one last time at the reunion. His memories will forever be with me. God gave us a great friend, with a kind spirit and I can't wait to meet him again. You made it Milton! You are home!

Milton,
You could light up a room with your smile. You were kind and loving to everyone you met. Your laughter could be heard anywhere in the house and you always made me smile when you sang. I was at work when Isti told me of your passing, I sat at my desk and cried. You were one of our closest friends and I'll miss everything about you. It doesn't seem fair, but I guess death never does. Milton we love you.

To Milton's family
It is amazing that a person can touch you and stay in your heart even though you are apart for 30 years. Milton was a friend in high school, a fellow thespian and when I heard his name, I smiled. I am so sorry for your loss.

Milton, you WERE larger than life. I haven't seen you since high school and yet there's a ton of memories of someone with a big smile and a big personality. I have the negatives from the yearbook somewhere. You figure prominently in the archives. Enjoy your freedom.

Dear Clark Family and friends,
I will always remember Milton as a great and decent guy, having a big heart for many people. Meet him many years ago on a TV Commercial shoot in Philly, something told me to ask him if he was a Christian and he said that he was. Many of our discussions were of his walk with the Lord.
I remember the hardship of him caring for his fathers possessions after he was killed, it was a hard time in his life.
My thoughts and prayers go to you and yours, with many fond memories and lots of laughs with Milton!
I know that he is in perfect peace and rest with our Lord and Savior now and forever! Amen.

Milton: You were the best of friends....we will never forget you. Great times together in high school and since--driving to Florida together to visit Kerry, living together in Atlanta, the great party when you surprised me when Bobby was born. Losing touch, then always regaining touch. You will always be in my heart and mind. Love Bob, Maryanne, Bobby, Zach and Case Liga
