September 26, 2020 at 4:30 amWe will always remember Milton’s smile and chuckle. He was proud of his family and his job with the city. We would see him often on his porch or his neighbor’s porch. He would throw us a big wave and smile as we rode by and blew the horn.

Milton was honest and clear in his desire to serve and follow Christ. It’s through this we can find peace in knowing where our brother is and that we will see him again.
