    I was so sorry to hear about Milton’s passing. He was a neighbor when I had my real estate office in Staten Island. I enjoyed our visits and his little dog. They were a fixture in Stapleton. He took very good care of Eillen Thomas when she was ill. She was an agent in my office for 17 years. It was through her that I met Milton. A lovely soul departed…RIP.
