I've spoken to many other friends of Milt in the last week- he was someone who was as widely loved as he was admired. Again, thnks for writing! Ken Dear Susan

I knew him in Denver. Also his pianist wife Betty. My son Paul Garver died of lymphoma at age 17 in 1981 and Betty died of the same cancer a few years later. I'm a classical pianist and totally admired the concert Milt and Betty gave for a Denver Symphony fund raiser. I was their page turner. Some events stick with you. I was also in an Investment Club Milt and Betty founded for musicians in Denver. Milt was so smart and could handle the "charts' he required from all of us. I was wondering if he still charted stocks and thought I would ask him thus discovering his death. Although I too went to Oberlin I certainly wasn't in their league. I do hope Milt found happiness as I did with the violist, Arthur Knebel. My sympathy to his family. Susan I was thinking just today about Milt. I knew him in Denver. Also his pianist wife Betty.

Rest in beautiful peace, Milton. Knock those angels wings off when you get a chance for me. My hometown band just lost another great musician and gentleman.
