When I arrived at Kingswood-Oxford in 1974, one of the first parents I met was Milt Schwartz. From that point on, Milt and his wonderful wife Nancy treated me, and our family, in the best way possible. The more I got to know Milt, the more I liked and respected him. He was a splendid husband, father, and he was a gentleman. As my dear friend Howie Falk, who grew up with Milt, would say to me in an admiring tone, “Milt is one of the boys.” He was that…and more.

My sincere condolences to the Schwartz family.

It was always an adventure working with Milt. I know that it was long ago, but your trips to Aruba were very important to him. I know how much his family mattered to him, and I am sure that as the grief passes, that you will have plenty of wonderful times with your kids and grandkids. Find peace in the knowledge of how he positvely affected so many people.

It is sad to hear of the passing of an old business friend. 'Uncle Milty's' pleasant personality was always appreciated and his friendly style encouraged folks to do business with Beacon. I'm sure I speak for all those with whom he interacted at Choice Vend when I say " Sleep well and in peace, old friend." Bob Minch
