Milford and I met at Norland Junior High School in the seventh grade. We quickly became good friends and spent lots of time together. I enjoyed hanging out at his house in Norwood. His mom, who was an absolute sweetheart, would make us limeaid from the tree in the back yard. I will miss our phone calls. Many of them lasted for 2-3 hours talking about cars, motorcycles and all the fun we had growing up in south Florida.
His unexpected passing has hit me hard, I loved him like a brother. I will never forget him and am fortunate to have been his friend.

Mil, my dear Brother in-law and best buddy ever. We had so many laughs together I can’t even count them. We teased each other and my favorite is his (shortsie wartsies). Those were his night night shorts and I would see them and tease him. He would think I was crazy and laugh so hard. We had such a relationship that he would listen to things I would tell him cause he knew I loved him and tell him the truth but I didn’t get to help him this last time. I am devastated I lost him and don’t know how to recover from this. Yes he was loud, and yelled but that is how he talked and who cares. He loved my sister and never wanted to be without her and now she is without him.
RIP and be pain free my brother in-law. I will never forget you and love you forever!
