Hey Paw Paw. You were my best friend, my confidant, and truly as good as they come. I think about you all the time, wishing you had met my little ones now. You would love then. They're just as spunky and sharp, as you were. Each time I have the opportunity of fishing around the gulf, I can feel you there. I love you and miss you to the moon and back.

I have had this guest book up on my phone for the past month, but I could never think of what to say. Possibly because words cannot describe the amount of hurt I have felt these few weeks trying to accept that you are really gone. Yet in the hospital I knew, you knew with teary eyes and aching hearts that the next time we saw each other would be in heaven. I am so grateful that I got the chance to visit you then, even if only for a short while. Now my constant is gone, and my life is already so different without you in it. You were and still are the best PawPaw, role model, and friend I could have asked for. I will strive to continually make you proud, thankful for every lesson taught, memory shared, and grandfatherly deed you have done for me the past 25 years. I love you so much, and always will. You and grandmaw save a nice place for me up there. Until then, I will continue to miss you with all my heart.

I love you dear friend and am I going to miss you. There's going to be an empty place in my heart. I will forever remember your stories and humor and of course the practical jokes that were played on you during our days at Chevron. I will cherish these memories forever. I'm grateful that you came back into my life-though to short- and I will truly miss you.
Goodbye Milton.

There was this moment when I went to see Milt in the Hospital recently, when it was just me and him, when we just held hands, his eyes filled with tears, in turn did the same to me, he tried to speak, but being weak and emotional couldn't, and I just looked at him and said " It's ok Milt I know" and then he just gave me that SMILE. I would not trade that moment for anything. Save me a fishing spot Mitl.

Kerry and Gina - remember a few 4th of July's back when my dad and Mr. Milton were sitting at the picnic table at Walters and they chatted for hours. I have thought about that often how these two elderly men were lucky to live a long good life and were able to sit and chuckle about the days. My condolences to your family - we should all live such a good life that Mr. Milton did - he was well liked and loved.

We too feel blessed to have had such a wonderful guy in our lives; and be lucky enough to be related too! Can't think of Uncle Milt without smiling because he always gave you one of his. We love him and will miss him and want Gina and Kerry, Stevie and Brad and their families to know we feel the pain of losing him and are comforted to know we will all be reunited someday. We will appreciate those precious moments we have with each other and hope that Audrey and Gert too can understand we feel their loss as well. Love - Patty, Jay & Cybil Menard

To the Archote Family:
I doubt you remember me fully, but I lived on the driveway side of Mr. Milton and Mrs. Lois. I was between Mr. Paul and Mrs. Mary for a while. I am sure that Kerry remembers me, as we talked quite often, but Brad and Steve, as well as all the children, may need some reminding.
First, let me say that from the moment I moved there until the time of my untimely departure, Mr. Milton and Mrs. Lois were wonderful neighbors. Mr. Milton was not territorial, never complained, always smiled and had a great sense of humor regarding anything that was discussed. I remember mowing the front and servitude lawns, him waving at me to stop, that he'd get them, but know I appreciatd him so much, I made him a part of me. I remember playing 'Wilson" of the Tool Time Show with him, talking to him in the shed while I was in my yard. Our dog loved him, as he always shared with her. Let me tell you, every time I washed my car, I'd wash his white walls on the old Olds that he did not want to part with! I'd show him how clean it was on our side and kid him and tell him he was slacking on his side! He was a character. He was by far, the most enjoyable neighbor a person could have.
Please know that I am sad to hear of his passing. He always talked about you guys and never, ever did he say anything bad. You were his three kings, trust me. And the grandchildren....his angels. He always had a quick story to share when talking about my children to me.
Now he's with Mrs. Lois and happy to be in God's care, sharing with other angels. May the grace of our Lord welcome this fine man into the gates of Heaven. Please keep me informed of the upcoming services.
