After joining the Army, Milton settled in Columbus. Milton was a masonry contractor and together with son Tommy, ran The Davlin Co.

The family would like to give a special thanks to loving caregiver and friend Cindy. A very special thanks to friend and neighbor Barbara who for the last two years spent numerous hours providing care and company to Milton. We can't forget the love she showered on Milton's four legged companions, Pablo and Pumpkin. Also, son Tommy who spent long hours caring for his father enabling him to remain at home living a more comfortable life while in the end stages of this debilitating disease, and son, Bobby, who was always on-call for late night emergencies.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to APDA, American Parkinson Disease Association www.apdaparkinson.org.
