From an early age, Milton was known as "Timer." It began when, as a boy of six, he would ride with his father when Walter went to New Hampshire to sell eggs and chickens. Customers would often refer to young Milton as "Old Timer." The nickname stuck and, eventually, became shortened to "Timer." For many years, he worked as a meat cutter at Fuller's Store in Oxford, Oxford Foods in Norway, and for the Norway Lake Store.
In the mid-1980's, Milton and Sylvia (who was disabled) moved to a multi-family housing site for elderly and handicapped persons in Norway (actually, right on the Norway-Oxford town line) known as Rustfield Village (so-called for the original name of the Town of Norway). After 10 years as a resident, Milton became the on-site manager. In 2001, he was recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service as the Multi-Family Housing Site Manager of the Year. He earned this award because of the excellent care he took of the property, as well as the assistance and consideration he gave to the residents.
