I met Milt in a shared workspace in Northbrook. He was always kind and helpful and had great stories about the practice of law. Milt was very knowledgeable as an attorney and provided good advice. We worked on a few cases together. His clients adored him. May his memory be a blessing.

My brother was a lifelong companion and friend. We shared similar ideals, interests and experiences. We enjoyed each other’s presence and interactions in activities including interpersonal relationships, culture and philosophy. We worked together as partners in countless projects involving both medical and legal expertise. I was fortunate that Milt as an older brother would become a mentor of mine and I emulated and fashioned my lifestyle and career in ways that he did or had intended to do. Among the many aspects of life, he inspired me in chemistry, biology, medicine, classical music, building and repairing jobs and so many other aspects of life that are too many to name. I emulated much of what he aspired to himself and I am grateful to him for helping me formulate the wonderful life that I have experienced. He shall live on with me, my prodigy, my wife, Marcia, and son, Dan, and with those whom have been in my life. He was an extraordinary man.

One memory I have is from when I was around 9-10 years old. Was on vacation in Chicago, staying with Uncle Al and Aunt Rae. We went to Milt’s college (?) graduation and while walking out, I asked to hold his hand. I didn’t really know him at that time (he and Joanie were dating??) but I felt drawn to do so. It was a warm moment that stayed with me. Hugs to you, Joanie, and your family. Glad you two had so many years together! xoxo. Gail
