Dear Cartwright Family:
I am writing to express how sad I was to learn of Myles' passing. He was a great Teamster who never refused a job - no matter what the job was, he would go! In fact, the members who work at the boat (the scrap yard) and all our members that knew Myles are so shocked when they hear the sad news. Myles will be truly missed by all especially at our monthly meetings. We will never forget Myles! He was kind, thoughtful, considerate and truly defined the word "gentleman".

I am so sorry to hear Myles passed away, he was a regular where I worked at our gym. I just bought him a get well card today to send to him because he told me he'd be in Mass General. We spoke about his illness and he had such a great outlook on it, I was more upset than he was. He was one of the most intelligent men I ever met. I am so so sorry.

Dear Family of Myles,
He is Greatly missed, already. I keep waiting for him to come in an visit with a smile on his face. He treated me with the up most respect and consideration. He made sure others did too. If not he let them know.
Myles was the type of friend who did want not anything from you but was willing to give you his time, stores, thoughts, friendship, heart, and loyalty. He had more stores and information than a public library. I hope others got to see the real, Myles.
I loved him and will miss him more than I realized. Terry

Dear Family members: I was so sad to hear of the passing of my friend Myles. I have known him for over 25 years. He was a true Teamster. He was a friend to all the members. In fact, everyone was shocked to hear of his passing. He was at the Union Hall checking on things before heading to Boston. He was a man who was willing to help anyone in need. No matter what - if you called him for help, he was there. He will be so sadly missed by all! He loved being a Teamster and he certainly knew and lived the word "Team". Myles, God Bless; and you will be surely missed by all your Brothers and Sisters at Teamsters Local Union No. 251
Love,
Sue and all your friends at Local 251
