He was quit the gentleman. He taught me how to fly fish. And geology lessons along the way. He will be missed.

Milt will be greatly missed, out of all the clients I have cared for in the past eighteen years, he was hands down my absolute favorite. He's at peace with Gwen now and I know for certain he's exactly where he wanted to be. I will keep your family in my prayers, love to you all!
