It was impossible to drive by or walk by Milt without him stopping you and engaging you in any kind of conversation. Full of joy at seeing you and a conversation full of any conversation he had. So friendly, always asked how you and Elaine are . A joy to know and be around.Just a joyous man.Oh yes, he was always warning me that Joel will be coming to Florida for some tennis, watch out.

Dearest Joel and Gail. So sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Joel we have shared many conversations about our parents health and situations Janet and I are visiting her 94 year old father and mother as I write this. It is never easy to lose a parent but it is something we all face. It was always apparent to me how much you loved and cared for your parents . It is something they both feel and know in their hearts. Your father lived a full and eventful life and accomplished much. Though he will be sorely missed I am sure he will continue to guide his family from his heavenly domain. Our prayers are with you. Bill and Janet Belden
