Having wqorked with Milton on the Gonbg Show and 1.98 beauty show I can say without question that the man was a true showman, professional and all around wonderfully nice guy. Rest in peace my friend.

"Orange Colored Sky"

All of Milton's wonderful accomplishments notwithstanding, my favorite memory of Milton remains of him chewing on a pretzel stick in the mobile unit parked in Herald Square on Thanksgiving. A near-worthy replacement for his favorite cigars in the confines of a truck. In an industry teeming with talent, few rise high enough to shine as brightly above the rest as Milton did.

I always loved being around and working with Milton! A man with a "jingle in his step and a song in his heart"! Miss you dearly!!

My sympathy to Michael and Stephen. I remember your dad and how encouraging he was when Stephen and I were playing the trombone and accordion together in Scarsdale when we were in high school. Seems so long ago in one way and only yesterday in another.

Mr milton it was an honor being your waiter for about 10 some years,you are a very nice human being and will be missed god bless all you left behind. Adrian your Solleys waiter

Although I never met Mr. Delugg, was a big fan. My dad's video collection has a short film of a 16 year old Milton Delugg performing with Gene Austin. He was so talented from an early age. RIP

Thank you, Dear Milton, for all you did. You are missed. xo Passion

I had the great pleasure of working with Milton as the head writer on the Gong Show. He was a friend. A kind man and he will be missed. My regards to his family.
