John W. Milstead

Capt. John W. Milstead, 67, passed away on Sun., Dec. 16, 2018.

Most of us are lucky to have one true love. John had two, his wife, Mary and the open sea.

For 31 years, he was her husband and the captain of many vessels.

As much as he loved Mary, he also loved her four daughters and stepped up to be the father he didn’t have to be, but always should have been.

There are not enough words to say how much he will be missed.

Left to mourn is his wife, Mary Milstead; four daughters, Mary Brake, Tina Reid, Lee Winterberry and Ervina Blanchette; four brothers, Charles and Betty, Gene and Janet, Ray and Donna, and Harold and Debbie; three sisters, Polley, Fran and Don and Betty Jo and Lynn; and numerous other family and friends.

Bond voyage Pop! We love you!
