The Holmquist family sends our sincere sympathy to the Schutlz family. We had many wonderful conversations over the years with Milton and enjoyed our visits to his home in Virginia, meeting his mother, Vera, and visits when he returned to Kansas. He was always interested in the ways in which Tom farmed the home land in Saline County that had been homesteaded by Vera’s family. We have missed our communications with him after he sold that farm to us. We send our sympathies and love to all of his family. Tom and Marlysue Holmquist, Smolan, Kansas
We are deeply saddened to learn of Milt’s passing and will always feel very grateful for having known him and enjoyed his very special friendship. We met Milt when he married our dear friend, Marion and shared several times together afterwards. I, Jane, had the pleasure of being his real estate agent selling the family home and became very impressed by his intelligence, strong work ethic, and very personable personality. We know that Milt will be always remembered and missed by his many, many friends and acquaintances who also had the wonderful experience of knowing exceptional Milt. Fondly, Jane and Doug Price
