Today we honor a man who was known best as Daddy and Paw Paw, but to so many others as just “Mr. Milton”. Throughout his sickness, so many people have spoke about his character, his faith, his love for people and the great big smile that was always on his face. One friend described him as being “Top Notch” and we think that sums him up pretty well. Continue to remember our family in your prayers……
