Milton was such a special person. I met him years ago when he first moved to Hutch and he would come to the Mall where I worked at Carr Flowers and we would chat. He also was friends with the people at B James clothing store. Whenever we would run into each other out and about, he always remembered me. My sympathy to his family.
