Hi DeeDee. I don't know if you remember me but my name is Carmen I used to work for Milt at Jades in NorthRiverside Mall. I'm sorry I didn't know that Mt passed. I will away remember all the things he told about life. I miss the good Old days. I'm forever grateful for knowing him.

Milt and I were friends since kindergarten. We graduated Hibbard Elementary in 1952 and although we went to different high schools we remained friends (helped by the fact that Milt lived across from Von Steuben). Our group of ten or so friends went in diffenent directions, half of us moving out of the state, and for many years we lost track of one another. We got back together in the '90s and remained in contact ever since. Rest in peace my friend.

Milt was a childhood friend of my husband Art Stein. I met Milt through my husband. My best friend Dale met Milt through Art and I. They were a couple soon after they met. We are heart broken over Milt´s passing.
