On the anniversary of your call home, I remember you as the kindest and smartest of God’s servants.  You were always humble and brilliant, a special combination I rarely see in such abundance.  I hope your reunion with family and loved ones is a blast- and that you allow yourself the ultimate satisfaction of joy.  I miss you down here, but I’m glad you are there.

I had the honor of knowing Fr. Milton and witnessing firsthand the profound impact he had on the lives of those around him. His unwavering faith, compassion, and dedication to his calling inspired all who knew him, and his presence continues to be felt even in his absence.

As we remember and honor Fr. Milton, let us take comfort in the knowledge that he lived a life of purpose and service, and that his example continues to guide and inspire us all.

Happy Easter Father Milton.  I bet it’s a party up there today, and you can participate fully in all the festivities (without fear of a hangover).  Life down here is moving forward, but we all miss you a great deal.  Some more of your colleagues have joined you recently, and after 90 (Or more) years on earth, heaven is more welcome site.  We are still children of science, and our world builds toward knowledge distribution via AI and approaching the knee of the technological asymptote, we may see more of God then our ancestors have.  I hope to see you again, either way.  God Bless.

When I heard of father Milton’s passing, I was stunned.  His life was not just a gift to him, but a gift to all of us. Rest in eternal peace father Milton.  You made. The world a better place, and the lives you touched are better for it.

One year the world has been missing Fr. Milton, and the light he brought to us all.  We certainly miss you, and pray that you are at peace and resting in the glory of God’s eternal home.  Many times you are thought of on this earth- from passing thoughts to intense memories, they bring comfort as we wait to be reunited again.

Fr Milton was one of the kindest and most logical teachers I have ever met.  His work was vital to the success of so many young men, and later young women, it is too high a number to even estimate.  It’s so rare that the work of one man can be felt in the vibration of earth’s processes and people years later, but he is an excellent example of one who has imparted such knowledge and understanding among his students, I can feel it.  So much work, so much to be proud of, and so much to revere.  Fr. Milton will be remembered as one of the very best.

The memory of Father Milton will live on in the lives of his students for many, many years to some.  But the real essence of his teaching will live on in the lives his students touch.  This could be eternal.  Heaven gets a great man, but his vibrations will never leave the earth.

We will miss you Fr, Milton.  All things have a time under the sun, until we are together again.

Sorry to hear of Father Milton’s passing.  As a man of God he always knew that he would joyfully be called home, heaven rejoice in his return!  We will miss his teachings and his wit in our world.  Condolence to his family and friends, he was a special person.  

We will miss you Father Milton.  You were a bright spot for all to see each and every day we had class.  You have made an impact on many, many students and we are all grateful.

Fr. Milton did much for our world and will be missed greatly.  A man of strong faith and good works is rare, and with such dignity and grace teaching science, he was a gift to us all.  May he Rest In Peace.

Nobody was more descriptive of the nature of the universe.  Fr. Milton encouraged us to learn as much as we could about the physical world, while keeping our spirit fed.  

Heaven rejoice the return of your faithful son.

Eternal rest grant onto him, Oh Lord, and let Your radiant light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

He was a powerful physics teacher. My best class memory was when he charged up the steal ball and sent our hair out in space. He has many scientists today to thank for his hard work.

Father Milton with somebody you could always count on to give you sound advice, especially regarding highly critical matters. I was one of the students for four years, and I’ve never had an instructor like him since. He will be missed.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Fr. Milton- to be continued…

In a quest for knowledge, peace, serenity and hope- science was his passion and service was his calling. A wonderful man is called home, and the world will need more men like him to carry on.  You were a great example of a good human being.  Until next time…

We will miss you Fr. Milton- you were an inspiration to your students and a great example of how a man should live his life.

Dave, Mike, Andy, Maribeth, George and Annette.. 92 years is a wonderful long life, but I'm still so sad to hear of Fr John's passing. Thank you for sharing him, he was our Chicago family members. I can't tell you how many times he spent weeks at our home, celebrated mass at our dining room table. He was truly a family member. He was so good to my grandma and parents. He'll always share a special place in my heart. He was also the first person I saw do the crossword puzzle with an ink pen! Keeping you all in my prayers.

Father John Milton was my husband's physics teacher at St Viator High School.  Paul graduated in 1964 but never forgot the wisdom, kindness, and extraordinary talent Father Milton possessed. My husband, Paul became a high school math teacher because of the influence of the teachers he had at St Viator High School. My husband died May, 2018 and I asked Father Milton to be the celebrant for the funeral mass.  He agreed  and  the liturgy was more meaningful because Father Milton knew Paul.  When I met with Father Milton to prepare the readings and the prayers for the mass, he shared his memories of Paul as a student at St Viator High School. He reminisced about the conversations they had throughout the years. Father Milton thanked me for giving him the honor to be the celebrant.  The day of the funeral, Father Milton's words were inspiring, heartfelt and sincere. I am grateful that I had the privilege to meet this man who definitely made a difference and made this world a better place. The Viatorians lost an integral member of their community but Father Milton will not be forgotten.

Father Milton was the man who inspired me the most, in  myriad and incalculable ways (he would probably like me to attempt the calculation), who took the time to explain in minute detail just exactly what we were to learn, and how we would benefit form the knowledge.   He was logical, concise, wise and kind- which compelled those of us who accepted his mentorship to be like.  I'm so sorry I lost touch, only sending a few email over the decades since high school, it was always my intention to visit.  I guess he is teaching me one final lesson- not to wait to do what is important.

I'm sure his faith is being lovingly justified, and that he is suggesting practical improvements in heaven, with useful ways they might be implemented and adjusted for optimization.  This gives me something more to look forward to when God eventually calls me home.  Thank you Father Milton -for everything- I will miss you until we meet again.

Father Milton was such a great Physics professor. He was the nicest and most helpful professor that I had while I attended DePaul. He  will be missed and forever remembered .
