Milt was a dynamo. His energy lit up whatever he did. He was a dynamic leader of Maot Chitim, and his skills and commitment enabled it to grow and meet the demands of a new era. He will be greatly missed as a philanthropist, leader, mentor and friend.

Cousin Milton was one of those rare people who always stepped up to help others--often volunteering because he saw a need without having to be asked. He was simply a good and caring man and he will be missed by many of us.

Dear Shelly,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Your dad was one of those rare people who always made even a good mood better; when I worked with him; volunteered at Maot Chitim; or saw him a few times over the past several years. I feel very fortunate and rewarded to have known such a warm, engaging, committed person.

May his memory be a blessing to you, your family, and all who knew and loved him.

Dear Family of Milton, Gary, Shelly, Laurie, Howard and his lovely friend, Renee.
Please accept our sincere sympathy and condolences on the loss of your father and my Tuley High School Cousin and Lantsman.
Milt was my Tuley pen and phone pal and when we chatted, he always addressed me as "Uncle Max", even though I am 13 years younger.
He will be missed.
Milt was one of our 'pioneer' alums.

Milt was a very special person !
a true mensch !a special friend ..a teacher ... a great sense of humor,a very high standard of morals and ethics.

A story that comes to mind ..at shul one day he was introduced to an older gentelman by the rabbi .. Mr. Fields meet Mr. Finkelstein ! Milt says we know each other well ... he is my father.

another ... at his 90th birthday party,
Milt felt somewhat remiss that he didn't accompolish all that he might have desired ... my answer to him was that he was one of the richest men on earth .... puzzeled he wanted to know what I was talking about ?
Milt look around you ... in this room alone are 70 to 90 people thay love and care about you .... very few people have this treasure !!!!
MILT YOU ARE MISSED ....
