One of Milt's favorite outings was to go to The Lodge in Chippewa Falls with his family to have a margarita and a hamburger. He was an avid Packers, Badgers and Brewers fan; he enjoyed fishing; liked watching old movies and listening to music. He could play the spoons, which he was often asked to do, and he could tap dance and sing. Milt spoke Norwegian and his family will forever utilize and remember warmheartedly the many phrases he used. He enjoyed baking and cooking, especially his large Sunday family meals. He will be dearly missed.
