Sara & family. I just found out today about Milton. Donnell and I are so very sorry. He was such a good man and scout leader. I think his favorite job was serving as our Fishing Merit Badge Counselor. He had a lot of knowledge he could pass on to the scouts.

We will always cherish our dinners out with you to eat fish. I can just picture Milton in heaven ready to throw that line in the big fishing hole. Please know that we are thinking of you and praying for your family.

Sara, thinking of you with our thoughts and prayers. Milton was a friend for many years, enjoying HHSAA luncheons, class breakfasts with both of you was a joy. Know that we care and comfort comes from knowing we'll see him again on the "other" side of life. May GOD wrap HIS arms of LOVE around you and your family.

I was enriched to know Milton through Scouting, especially as a member of Wood Badge training in 1989. Milton was honored by his patrol members who elected him their permanent patrol leader. To paraphrase Lord Baden-Powell, Milton, too, has gone home.

My family had the wonderful oportunity to live and know Milton for several years. There was no other family that loved their neighborhood as much as Milton did. I will miss him picking up trash in the streets and sidewalks just so we could have a clean area to live in. God bless you Milton and your entire family and I hope to see you again some day.

Our thoughts and prayers for comfort and strength go out to you all. Uncle Milton will definitely be missed. I enjoyed my visit several months ago when he and I looked at his military memorabilia from years gone by. I know he is in Heaven so that does bring comfort in knowing we will all see him again one day. I hope he has found my Daddy and gone fishin' already. I love you guys.
