MILTON JAMES BLACK

Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

• I'm sorry to hear of Milt's passing. He was a West End boy who stood out at everything he did. I was very fortunate to play some community club hockey with Milt at the young age of elementary and junior high school. He was always a leader and a peer hero. He was the first to recognize when a teammate got his first goal or a hat trick and modest when he got several. He treated everyone with respect and that is what I remember most. Even as he became a local success in his hockey career he would remain friends and if he saw you on the street he would stop just to say hi. - Posted by: Bill Macdonald (Isaac Brock school friend) on: Sep 23, 2023

• I played little league baseball with Milt. We went to Daniel Mac high school together. Milt was an all star no matter what he played. Sorry to hear about his passing. - Posted by: Doug Black (Friend) on: Sep 23, 2023

• Sincere condolences to all of Milt’s family and friends on his passing. I’ve been a friend and teammate of Milt’s for 60+ years, and he has been a truly kind, generous person as a boy and as a man. A special athlete who rose to the professional level, Milt remained the same grounded considerate person. RIP Milt…. - Posted by: Dave McConachy (Childhood friend, baseball and hockey teammates ) on: Sep 19, 2023

• Some players remember you fondly from your hockey officiating days and Milt was one of them. When he was living in Matlock, my parents often would mention how Milt would stop by their cottage for a visit. My mother always called him a nice young man. - Posted by: Kent Morgan (Friend) on: Sep 17, 2023

• Barbra, I’m truly saddened to learn of Milt's passing, please accept my heartfelt condolences. I thoroughly enjoyed many interesting conversations with Mil about his NHL and in particular his European Hockey experiences. They were truly entertaining and gave one a welcomed insight to his wonderful personality. The Matlock community sorely missed him when the move away occurred and both Milt’s and your names are oftentimes a part of local conversations. May Milt’s spirit rest in peace and remembrances of him be everlasting. - Posted by: Laurence (Laurie) Russin (Acquaintance / Client) on: Sep 17, 2023

• I am so sorry to hear of Milt’s passing, he was truly a wonderful person. I fondly remember all the wonderful times we shared together at Matlock with Barb and Sandy and myself, the hours we spent together playing our version of “frisbee golf” Milton’s memory will live on in the wonderful lifelong friends he has left behind. He will be missed Sincerely Colleen - Posted by: Colleen (Anderson) Manning (Friend) on: Sep 17, 2023
