We have many wonderful memories of our time with Milt & Dale in Palm Springs. Milt always had a great smile, a warm personality, and was a true mensch. He will be sadly missed.

Aged to perfection for sure! Norman Kelton

My memory, so many. Uncle Milt was a very special person! Although I am many miles away, I felt incredible comfort knowing he was around and celebrating special events together such as his surprise 80th birthday amongst many more! My latest visits are so very cherished!

I will miss him so very much and will find some comfort in feeling he is with family now, especially his 2 sisters, Mommy and Aunt Lorri.

What a special man!

Love you very much!
Norman

I’ve been lucky enough to know Milt for over 40 years. There are so many wonderful memories but one thing I know he was there for me no matter what. A better friend can’t be had. I met Milt when the girls were ice skating and been friends ever since. Rest in peace my friend. ❤️
