Milt and Linda lived in Gouverneur most of their lives before moving to Black Lake a few years ago. Milt also enjoyed watching sports, especially local wrestling and football, shooting pool with family and friends, volunteering for whatever was needed for the animals at Gracious Friends, and most of all, spending time with his wife, his sons, and their families.
