I am very sorry for your loss, Milton was one of my favorite people with a wonderful sense of humor and a loyal friend. I’ll miss him very much. I believe Heaven awaits those who believe and Milton was a true believer, hopefully we’ll all meet again in a better place.
We are sorry we couldn’t be there with you. He was a loving Father and Grandfather. You are always in our prayers. Take care of yourself. We all know he is with Peggy, they both are watching over your family.
Dear Sophie, I am sorry to hear about Milton. Over the years Jeanne and I always liked yours and Milton’s company. I’ll keep you in my thoughts. John Porec
