To the Klammer family , my sympathy to you.
Adrianne Henschke (Kottke) says
My sympathy to the Klammer family, especially Howard & Mae Wick family. I grew up down the road from Milton and knew him as a well respected individual and neighbor. He was always available to help no matter what the situation. He was one of the “good guys”.
Leland Kottke says
I will always remember Milton when he showed me the hay racks with the fancy painted scroll works and time he blasted his trombone at me in the dark . Milton was a kind man. The last time I had a talk with him was as Adline Kottke birthday at Stewart hall. We talked a lot about times on the farm.He left me with a lot of memories . My sympathy to the Klammer family .
