It seems like a lifetime ago that I saw you last. I know that our lives get busy and before you know it thirty years pass by. I knew you and affectionately called you, " Uncle Milt." I am so sad to hear that you are no longer with us. I will miss you. My condolences to your family. You will always be remembered for your kind and gentle soul. Rest in peace.

I posted a note the other day with a photo of a group of men who meet every week but it did not post so here I go again. Milton was a gentle man who loved everyone, never said a word in anger always was a real old timer one who loved his brothers and sisters of every type. Milton was a friend to me but more like a dad or older uncle then just a friend, from our days working together in my family business to our weekly morning meetings with like-minded men (sometimes a lady could join us) to the writer's group in Bradley Beach or our DAV meetings Milton was a true man around town. To his family, Milton was a true mentsh and to me a man who shared his faith in a soft but strong way. May he rest now.
