Not sure what to say?

I will miss our chats at Mahana Friday night potluck dinners. I enjoyed hearing about Milt's adventurous life. Milt did many things most of us only talked about doing and never took the risk.

I came to know Milton Byrd a few years ago. His every action and every word showed him to be the ultimate gentleman and scholar. Even after all his accomplishments, there was no arrogance. Instead he was sensitive, humble, and always logical. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone or anything. I am grateful I had the opportunity to know him because he was one of God's most evolved spirits. He lived well and touched many lives.

Dr. Byrd was my inspiration in many avenues - and one of my greatest champions. He encouraged me to do things I never thought I could, and in a great part, because of his confidence in me, I succeeded. He will be sorely missed, and we will always have wonderful memories of him in our family.

My condolences to the family, I remember him at Charter College when I was a student.

I extend my deepest sympathy. May the Almighty God & Jesus Christ give you peace and comfort during this troublesome time
