Juliet Nursing Home on January 13, 2022.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Gillon Orin Smith and Madelon Wright Smith. Milton was active in school activities and gifted in many ways. He played the piano; he won many awards for his artistic abilities; he played the saxophone in the Pep Band at DuPont High School; and he was chosen for the high school basketball team (but gave that up for the Pep Band); and he was also a good golfer. He graduated as Salutatorian of his class of 1957. Milton graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1962 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. Milton was a giving person. He gave graciously to everyone who was in need and did without needs of his own. He was a Christian and went to church as often as he could.
