Milford worked as a lead oven operator at Holsum Bakery for 36 years. He was a graduate of Oakdale High School 1968. Earned an accounting degree at T.H Harris Community College.

He enjoyed life’s simple pleasures — relaxing in front of the television, drinking a strong cup of Community Dark Roast coffee, cheering on football games, and watching classic westerns.

He cherished time with his family and adored his grandchildren, who brought him immeasurable pride and happiness. A man of few words, his quiet strength and love spoke for themselves.
