For the last 4 years Edward and I took care of Dad(Milt),and we got to know him. What an amazing man. He brought laughter and alot of history to our lives. Ed and I are so happy that we got the chance to know his Dad again. We will all miss him with all of our hearts but we try to temper our sorrow with the knowledge that he is not suffering and is in a much better place now.

The truth be known I did not get to spend alot of time with Milton. I really did not know him all that well. I did, however, listen as Ed spoke fondly of him..often. He seemed to me like a man filled with a love of life and laughter. The world is lessened when there is such a loss. But we that continue on try to live as they would wish us to. I am sure Milton knows that he is loved and missed…and thought of often.

My memories of Milton were the many times we talked of his military past. I love all things historically military and he fed that love in me by telling stories and singing old songs. I will miss those times we spent together. And I will think of him all the time. Milton is a true Canadian hero to me.

Hello Crafts Family;
I wouild like to offer my sympathy to you all. I only met your dad one time and it was sometime back in the sixties. He was in the livingroom of the house on Reynolds Road and I and can still remember him wearing a naval captain’s cap. It really brought out the Nova Scotian in him.
Seeing your names in the paper brought back a lot of pleasant memories.Everyone of you made up a special part of my life and I feel very lucky that you moved to Byron and became my neighbours.
Your friend,
John Cotton
