Survived by sons, Lawrence (Irma) of Shaler, Mark (Claudia) of Murrysville, David (Eri Fujita) of Los Angeles, Russell (Elaine) of Hermitage; grandsons, Matt (Mary) of Pittsburgh, Brian of Leeper; and great-grandson, Max of Pittsburgh. He considered himself a pacifist but felt compelled to enlist in the Army Air Corps and served in an 8th Air Force bomber squadron in WWII. Milton was a political and social activist, from protesting Mussolini to grape boycotts to Vietnam to the Iraq War on the corner of Forbes and Braddock. He was an expert bridge player, attaining the rank of Life Master and was still an active player. An avid gardener, his profusion of plants of all shapes and colors across from Taylor Alderdice delighted many passersby.
