He loved going to sporting events, Broadway shows with his wife, and traveling with his family. Milt was an avid sports fan, and in particular he loved going to New York Rangers games with his son and his brother when he worked in New York City.
Milt is survived by his wife of 60 years, Natalie, his son Steve, daughter-in-law Kristina, and their 15-year-old son Thomas. He was a proud and loving grandfather to Thomas. Milt was kind, funny, and always generous. He is loved and will be missed by all.
