Milt was an avid fisherman, had a love for fast cars and enjoyed the political scene. He was very instrumental in State Representative Ken Sorensen's campaign in 1980, after which, Ken appointed him to the Monroe County Planning Board.

He was the Head Coach of the Key West Swim Team which traveled to South Florida for swimming competitions. He had a passion to encourage young people to do their best in their individual events.
