Read MoreI had the pleasure of learning origami from him at the Portland public library in Portland ME back in 85-87 ish (I was maybe 11-13 years old) during the summer reading program.

Our sincere sympathy at this sad time. Milton was so intelligent and talented. I recall calling him for professional advice when anticipating a challenging PR situation at work. His love for his family was central to his life. And his affinity for dogs was legendary. Love, Jane and Les

Milt was the UR Medical Center Communications Director when I was a young infectious diseases physician.

Rest well, my friend. And thanks,
