To the Turgeon family: I loved "Milt the Stalker" for the short period of time I knew him. What I loved about him was his passion: for life, for his family, for the UCONN teams, and for all good. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss ... and for our loss. I know the heavens will be talking and smiling more!! Liz and Judy (Stratford)

To the Turgeon Family. I was shocked and saddened to see Milt's obit on line yesterday. Another of the good guys at Kaman has gone to his reward. I worked at Kaman from 1952 until 1985 and had many contacts with Milt during that time. I trust your faith will sustain you and get you thru these trying times.

Dolly and family,
I have fond memories of you guys with my grandparents Victor and Lorraine Mascone. I personally have very fond memories of Milt at my wedding. He went out of his way to put treasured pictures to music for us. After losing my dad, I will treasure what he did forever.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and his kids. I know it is hard, but I truly believe that the harder it is only shows how wonderful our loved ones were, and what spectacular angels they are making.
God Bless , our thoughts and prayers are with u all

To: The Turgeon Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you "all" during this time of great loss.
Milt was a friend to all he encountered, as his demeanor was amplified by his smile. Being neigbors across the street for 40 years, I will remember the hello and smile that always came from Milt. I'll miss our occasional chats on golf or just plain ... "how ya doing, today."
Rest in Pease Milt and My Fellow Golfer ... hitt'em long and straight!
