He is also survived by his son Milton Frank Patnode of Douglas; 2 daughters, Debbie Ann Zimmerman of Palm Coast, FL, and Jean Marie Romeiro and her husband John of Babson Park, FL; 4 grandchildren, Tina Patnode, Heidi Georges, Shawn Zimmerman, and Miranda Romeiro; 5 great-grandchildren, CJ Beauvais, Calvin Aia, Addison Trottier, Mia Minichiello, and Atavia Georges; a brother, Thomas Patnode of Northbridge; sisters, Theresa Lequesne of Douglas, and Joyce Jacobs of Linwood, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Born in Coventry, RI on May 14, 1931 he was the son of Raymond Sr., and Mildred (Blair) Patnode and has been a lifelong resident of Northbridge. Milton worked as a union carpenter for the carpenter's union local 537. He worked there 50 years before his retirement in 1990. He was a proud U.S Army veteran of the Korean Conflict serving in both Korea and Japan. He was a member of the former Oliver Ashton American Legion Post, and Knights of Columbus council 365 in Whitinsville. He enjoyed working in his yard, tending to his gardens where he grew enormous vegetables, and taking on woodworking projects around the home. He was a true jack of all trades and a master of one, carpentry. A selfless man, he always offered to lend a hand to anyone in need. Milton was a longtime member of St. Patrick's Church.
