Milton (Mike) was employed for many years at General Dynamics as an Engineer and later was the General Sales and Fleet manager at Moritz Cadillac in Arlington where he finished his working career. He did many multi-level marketing ventures so he could be his own boss so he could have time to spend with family. Our dad was a devote Christian and raised us with very strong Christian values which we have all passed thru our family. He always woke every morning and said, “This is the day that the Lord hath made”. He said this even up until his last days on this earth. My dad knew how much he was and is loved, his family surrounded him in his last day as well as his last breaths, but God took in in that moment on Mother’s Days and what a glorious Mother’s Day gift my mom and brother Matt received in heaven. Our dad was a sports fan, loved the Texas Rangers, Cowboys, Maverick and Dallas Stars and the occasional golf, Nascar and soccer on tv. He coached Peewee football for Michael and Matt while coming to watch and cheer us on in our sporting events as we grew up. He was our life coach from day one until his passing. We cherish all the time that God allowed us to have with our Dad and Papa.

We will always love you forever and ever! You are forever in our hearts Dad.
