Richard Milam

Rick- thank you to Rick for everything he did for others, including the track & field community. Had an opportunity to spend some extra time with him at meets and a P.E. conference which I will always cherish. He is missed by so many.

Rick "Milam" was my Track and Cross Country Coach for my time at Homestead and instilled a zeal for excellence beyond running to everything one did just by his unstinting guidance and passion for running and life. He was always there for us as a leader and friend. If you sought out challenge, he was there to help you meet it and do well, and for years after. I owe a debt of gratitude for instilling a work ethic that let me excel in college rowing: I couldn't have done it without those...

Some men can never be replaced. There is a whole in my heart where Rick Milam lived. The world is a different place without you.

I feel very lucky to have known Rick. He was a positive, kind, and generous person. He always had a positive energy and made you feel comfortable. He also had a great sense of humor and had a perfect story to tell in any situation! Thanks for everything YOU did for everyone and the sport of track & field! I will miss you very much!

A phenomenal man who positively impacted every one he came in contact with. Thanks for all of the opportunities you provided to so many along the way. We already miss you and your booming voice!

Rick Milam was my son's Great Uncle and the word great is not a big enough word to describe the person he was. He touched us in so many ways as a family member. Keylan and I thought the world of him ... even hundreds of miles away. He always had a joke or funny story for us. God blessed us with a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed.

Rick was a very special person. If you needed it, he would give you the shirt off his back. He lived with my sister for 20+ years, and for that alone he has earned his wings. He knew what it meant to be a friend. I will miss you greatly.

I had the extreme pleasure of coaching Rick in basketball when he was in the 8th grade at Mt Carmel in Redwood City. What a wonderful and dedicated competitor he was.
Later we became very close while attending CSM together. He just couldn't do enough to help in any way possible.
I was so fortunate to run into him 2 years ago, after a long separation. He will be missed
