Milt fished Halibut with my Dad in BC and Alaska for almost 20 years during the 60’s and 70’s. As a young boy I still remember the big lobster boils we had every spring when Milt showed up with a load of live lobsters when he arrived in Vancouver . In the mid 70’s while on break from school ,I would fly to Kodiak to join them on their halibut trips out on Albatross Bank . The men that fished in those type of conditions ,and the storms they lived through were a different breed of toughness . Certain crew members left lasting impressions and Milt was one of them . I can still see him between trips , sitting and laughing at the galley table with his white ceramic coffee cup half full of vodka in one hand and an open can of Orange Crush in the other . So sorry for your loss , cherish the memories .

Dear Patty, We were very sorry to hear that your Dad had passed away. Howie and I remember your Dad’s wave and his infectious smile when he’d go by in his car or was out jogging and he’d stop and chat with us If we met him on the road. Howie remembers when his Uncle Stirling used to talk about the reputation your Dad had when he was out west. He was considered a valued, hardworking and knowledgeable fisherman. Patty, you and Hughie were always there for him no matter what the circumstances. We know how greatly he will be missed. May the many good memories you have of him help you now and in the future. Our condolences to you, Patty and to your family.
Richard Swain
Deepest sympathies to all of the family. I will certainly miss our chance meetings and the many “yarns” we shared at Farm Hill and Bob’s Point on those occasions
