Beloved father of Carlton Harper, of Cherry Hill, NJ. Milton was born and raised on a quiet farm in Marlyand. In the early 1940’s he moved to New York, where he met his beloved wife, Catherine, who he married in 1946. He served valiantly in the United States Navy during World War II, spending most of his time in the Pacific, including in Okinawa, Japan and in New Guinea. Milton graduated from Lehigh University in 1942, eventually going on to complete a Master’s degree in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He worked for many years as a chemical engineer at National Casein Co, Riverton, NJ. Milton was a loving and dedicated father. He enjoyed travelling around the world, and often brought his son, Carlton. He remained active well into his mid-nineties and valued his independence.
