My condolences to RaSharon, Freddie, Mike and their families. I knew Mr. Milton from the many stories his father Mr. Tobe Milton and my parents would tell me. Those memories were further enhanced through my friendship with Freddie and Mike.
May God bless and keep you,

Bobby was a very good team member and friend. He will really be missed. From High School to the Trotters Bobby was always a great player. We had some real battles in high school and then we became team mates at Anderson College and the Trotters... Johnny Wilson

Rest in Peace Bobby. I went to school with you, many years ago, and always mentioned you whenever the Harlem Globetrotters came up in conversation as the great basketball player you were at Central High School.Thanks for the memories.

Bobby was like an uncle of mine as he was a good friend of my father, Jack Seals, uncles, Sonny, Buddy and Ernest Hurst and entire family. Some of my best memories as a child are spending some summers at their home on Calumet Av in Chicago watching home movies of Italy etc. and seeing the different charms that he brought back from the countries for Dottie's charm bracelet. I remember riding around in the convertibles at the Foster Golf Course with Dottie and my mother watching Bobby and my father play golf which you can't do anymore. It was also fun going to their golf course (Pike O' Peace)and helping out at the concession stand. Dottie was my other mother whom I adored and so I was glad I got the chance to visit Bobby in the nursing home to show him the pictures I had took over the years of him and Dottie, Freddie and Mike and the good times we all shared. He couldn't speak but he kissed my hand as I could hear him in my mind "Ok Jack Rabbit" which is what they nicknamed me. My heartfelt sympathies goes out to RaSharon, Freddie, Mike and the rest of his family as he was a giant in Fort Wayne, IN and a inspiration to a lot of people.

Mr. Milton was a legend to many young black men growing up in Ft. Wayne...he made it out and was successful as a professional. He represented what many of us strived to become - worldly and successful. My sincere condolences to Freddie, Mike and RaSharon and other family members.
Sincerely,
Bill Banks
