Milton C. Kurtz Obituary
Milton raised his family in Saratoga, CA and then later moved to the Monterey Peninsula, where he enjoyed his many friends and family life for over 20 years. His passion was flying and spending time with his friends at the airport. He also loved rock hunting, where he amassed an impressive collection of rock and mineral specimens.
Milton had an amazing scientific mind and a remarkable career. His work at Spectra Physics was instrumental in developing and completing the bar-code scanner. His professional achievements also led to advancements in optical-based computer storage devices.
Milton is survived by June, his wife of 62 years; his three children, Keith Kurtz of Prunedale, Kristin Butler of Monterey, and Kim Floyd of Aptos; and three grandchildren, Brian Butler and Brett Butler of Monterey and Grace Kurtz of Vancouver, Washington.
Services will be held at Cypress Community Church at 681 Monterey-Salinas Highway on Saturday, August 9, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. A gathering will be held directly after the church service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Cypress Community Church or Hospice of the Central Coast is appreciated. Arrangements are by Struve and Laporte Chapel.

A dear friend and a great flying buddy. He would patiently listen to my explanation of some situation and then calmly set me straight!
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
