Milt was always helpful to me. He led me to better opportunities at Matthews. He was a great friend in and out of work. My sister(Wanda) who graduated from high school with Milt knew him as an excellent student. We shared many experiences together and will always be thought of as a good friend. Many condolences to the family.

Jim and Lori,
I'm very sorry about your father's passing. He was a very kind and generous man. I still have fond memories of him inviting me to Pirate games and other things we did together. He helped provide great childhood memories for us as we all grew up. I will continue to keep him, your mom and you and your families in my prayers.

I worked with Milt at Matthews International and it was a pleasure to work with someone as dedicated as Milt. He never laid back, he always had a vision and never looked back, and that is why Matthews is what it is today because of his commitment and dedication to our company. I will miss him dearly. I will miss the Pirate games and conversations about life and business, that I had the opportunity to share with Milt. What a class act, and a supreme human being. Lori and family, my heart is saddend to hear of his passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Lori, If I can do anything please call me. God Bless Milt!

It was a professional pleasure to have worked in the field that Milt championed and gave so much of his energy to. The opportunity also gave me the chance to see his dedication to contribute carried down to his daughter Lori. My thoughts are with his family.
