[NFB-Lions] Sad News, Friends Re: "Let's ROAR!"

Sat May 16 21:40:39 UTC 2026

Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing this with our Lions group. Our love &
ALOHA 🌈🌴🌺 to YOU, Charlene at this difficult time.

When I first learned about Milton during a BookClub meeting with Charlene,
all of us here in Hawaii were shocked! I still hear people talking about
him at our Library For the Blind & Print Disabled in Waikiki, even though
it’s been decades since he’s worked there!

Milton truly is going to be missed. Such a talented, intelligent & kind
man.  He truly exemplified what Lions are all about.

Rest in Peace & Love Milton!

Aloha~
