Fourscore and seven years ago, Martin and Ethyl Inderbitzin brought forth a new son named Milton, conceived in love and dedicated to the proposition that he would be the jolliest baby on the Kalamazoo River.
Now we are all engaged in retirement, testing whether this family branch or that can remain as active and productive as he continues to be. We are met this New Year’s Eve to celebrate the start of his eighty-eighth year. We have come to dedicate ourselves to following his example as husband, father, fisherman, gardener, hunter, breadwinner, rabbit keeper, World War II sailor and lover of jazz.
The world will little note what any of us can say here, but his children, his grandchildren his great grand children and much of Muskegon will always be touched by Dad’s presence in their lives.
