So sorry to loose Melt. He was a great guy and a good friend ,he will be missed by many. John will miss him when those big gun shows come around and also on those trips with The Back Of The Bus group .
Uncle Milt, I sure will miss our talks we had together while visiting you all in Arkansas. It was always a fun time to ride on the golf cart over to shoot the rifle. God recieved a special man today, who we will miss a very great deal. May you spend eternal life on the porch of heaven, as you did Aunt B's porch with the same wisdom you may fill each and every new life to heaven's gate. Love you always Tyler
Uncle Milt was one of the best men i knew. He always had a life lesson to teach you about anything you could think of. I will deaply miss the talks on the back porch while watching the birds. He will be forever loved and missed. love always katie~
I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. John thought the world of Milton. He talked about him frequently and about the good times they had together. The first time I met Milton was in John's kitchen before we got married and he impressed me as being such a nice man. He actually gave me a hug. He always had a big smile on his face and always seemed to be happy. I'm just sorry I didn't get to know him better. May God bless you.
We are so sorry to hear about Milt. We always enjoyed traveling with the two of you. You sure made things fun! He will be remembered as such a nice man. Deepest sympathy to you and yours, Lulu and John
