Milton Charles Knight

1925 - 2008 Milton passed away peacefully on the 17th of March 2008, at the High River Hospital after a long battle with lung disease. Milton grew up in Red Deer before joining the Air Force, where he was a rear gunner for over three years. Upon returning to Canada, Milton lived in Red Deer where he learned the printing trade. He was married in 1948 to Doris. Over the years they raised four children, living in Grand Forks, B.C., Ponoka, Calgary and Springbank. Milton worked as a manager for the North Hill News for many years before purchasing his own printing plant. Milton and Doris have called Okotoks home since 1985. Throughout the years, Milton has enjoyed watching sports, skiing, drumming in the Naval Band, and playing hockey with the Springbank Oldtimers. Milton is survived by his wife of fifty-nine years, Doris, and their children Janet (Larry Stach), Allan (Lucine) Knight, and Ken Knight. Also left to grieve are grandchildren Kara (John), Robert (Jackie), Melissa (Eric), Jesse (April), Barry; and great-grandchildren Kevin, Orion, Michael, James, Gillian, Reese and Harrison. Milton was predeceased by his son Larry in 2006. Milton is sadly missed.
