Reginald "Reg" E. Milton
1931-2012
Reginald "Reg" E.Milton, 80, of Hopewell
Cape passed away on May 6, 2012 at his residence following a lengthy
illness.
Reg was born in Osborne Corner on September 1, 1931
the son of the late Peter and Doris (Butland) Milton. He was a true
jack of all trades but especially enjoyed carpentry and working in
the woods. He attended the Lower Cape Baptist Church and the Lower
Coverdale Baptist Church when he was able. Reg loved being outdoors
and it was truly one of his favorite places to be. His passion was
hunting and he also enjoyed fishing. He was a member of the Burrow
Hills Golf Club and was an avid golfer. He also had a special place in
his heart for animals and his dog Kody and new dog, Reno meant the
world to him. Reg felt so blessed to be able to stay in his home and
have his caring and devoted family look after him. He had to be on
dialysis and his wife, Gerry, made it possible to have the treatments
done at home where he was comfortable. He was truly grateful to her
for everything she did. Also to his treasured children and
grandchildren, the last few years have been tough but really brought
the family together when it counted. It made the time together so
important and they have many beautiful memories to cherish. Reg is now
at peace with nature and God.

Parker Milton (Carol) of Stoney Creek; daughters, Deborah Milton
(Brent) of Moncton, Jan Lutes (Russell) of Riverview,
