Milton was born in Atlanta and a proud alumni of West Fulton High School. He moved to Cobb County with his bride, Betty Ivie, when they married in 1957. He became a part of the electrical industry in 1959 and owned and operated United Power. He loved his job and the people he met along the way. He personally assisted with the installation of the first underground electrical line in Georgia. He trained crews throughout the state, earning him the unofficial title of “Mr. Underground.” Milton has been a faithful member of Macland Baptist Church for 42 years, a member of the choir and just returned to the Active Deacon Board. He loved singing in gospel quartets, flying as an amateur pilot, hunting, boating, golf, woodworking and waterskiing. Milton was employed at West Cobb Funeral Home as a faithful greeter at our front door.
