What a privilege to have Milton as a dear friend for many years. I met him overseas in the service in the early 60's, lost contact over the years and then one day Milton found me :) About 7 yrs ago he and Franny rode the train to California to visit. What a great time we had. We have kept in touch and was so honored to spend some of his last hours with him. Milton was a fine man. He had a love for the Lord that was very evident and he was so willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He will be missed my many and our reunion with him in Heaven will be EPIC. R.I.P.

I remember the Bowers Family in the neighborhood. We all rode the same school bus to school. I am so sorry to hear that Milton has passed away.
