Milt was a guy who always had a smile on his face and a positive outlook on life. He was a very talented builder who could make just about anything, including four of his own custom built homes. Milt proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army during Vietnam. He was a big football fan rooting for Ohio State and the Green Bay Packers. For 18 years, Milt enjoyed working at Home Depot where he made many lifelong friends. Milt was a beloved grandfather and he will be dearly missed by everyone.
