David M. Milk, 62, of Long Eddy, died on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 at Bridgewater Nursing Center, Binghamton, NY. He was born and raised in Long Eddy on January 23, 1953, the son of Donald and Grace (Peake) Milk. David was an avid Cowboys fan who never paid up his bets when they lost a game. He enjoyed coloring, doing puzzles, word searches, and playing cards (little cheater) at the kitchen table. Being raised on a farm, he had a great love for all farm animals, cats, and dogs. In addition to football, David also enjoyed watching baseball, golf, wrestling, bull riding, and car racing. In his younger years, he was schooled by his Aunt Mary Shea, learning ABCs, how to count, color, spell, and write his name. Later he attended BOCES programs and workshops, making pottery etc. He attended the ARC program on a daily basis for many years with the help, kindness, and love from his very special Aunt Zelda Milk, who provided transportation as she was employed there also. David touched the hearts of all who knew him. He especially loved all the women. My, what glory he had with all those nurses for the last year of his life. Although he will be missed dearly, we will hold many memories of him in our own special way. Surviving are 3 brothers, Donald "Butch" Milk, Lucian and wife Gloria Milk, and Telford and wife Nancy Milk, 5 sisters, Aloma and husband Bill McElwee, Lucinda Mootz, Sharon Cormier, Aleta and husband Tom Mason, and Andrea Milk, several nieces and nephews, and several great nieces and nephews. David was predeceased by his parents, and 2 brothers, Allan Arlyn Milk and Clinton Francis Milk.
