Every time we saw him at the pizza place he always made it a point to talk us.
I have many fond memories of Milton. I was in first or second grade when he graduated high school. I remember him and the entire Keeney families ever since I was big enough to walk. I followed my Dad’s footsteps when he would go to get feed at Winfred’s. Many of times Milton or Fontella would lead me around on one of their horses. When Milton had his business in Nancy on Hwy 80, Many times Dad would stop by to get something welded if he had a few minutes to spare to do so. It didn’t matter where we or at, Milton always took time to stop and chat for a spell. He became my neighbor over here on Piney Grove Rd (HWY 2993) and as I passed by several times a week going out or coming in he would wave if he saw me. He will sure be missed by all who loved him and knew him. If my memory is correct, I remember Milton being called to preach. May the memories you carry in your hearts help give you strength, comfort, and strength at this most difficult time and in the days ahead. May God bless each of you.
