RIP Milt !.

N5IA's son posted this on Milt's QRZ.com page:

 

"Hello to all of Milt's Amatuer contact, friends, acquaintances and others,

"I am Milt's oldest son Jason, some of you know me, most of you probably
don't.  I have been with him for 47 years, he was my hero.  Today, June 9,
2016.  Milt was on was of his many tower climbing adventures, and by no
choice of his, it became his last.  It is with great sadness that I report
to all of you that today we lost one of the greatest men I know.  He was my
hero.   He left behind Rulene, his loving wife of 49 years, 7 children, 30
grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren and so many, many friends.  His legend
will live on for generations to come.  He loved to help others, especially
in his chosen hobby, Amatuer radio.  He truly cared about his hobby and took
every aspect of it to heart.  Those of you who knew Milt, know how
intelligent he was, and how he loved to share that intelligence with others.
Please feel free to share with anyone who might not read this short post, of
his passing."
