10-4 Magazine - For Today's Trucker

IN MEMORY OF MILTON STELLER
1915-2005

Milton Steller (90) of Costa Mesa, California passed away quietly in his sleep January 8, 2005. Milt came to California in 1935 from Brooklyn, New York. He met his caring wife of 69 years, Marcelle Rossier at the Rendezvous Ballroom during Easter week. Milt was an Arden Farms milkman, servicing the beach communities of Southern California, before becoming a bar-manager. He was a 50-year member of the Seafaring Masonic Lodge and a life member of the U.S. Bartender Guild. Many of you may remember Milt if you have attended any of 10-4 Magazine’s parties. After retiring, Milt became the “official” bartender at all of our company functions, and became famous for his wonderful creations. Dressed up in his vest and tie, he always had a joke ready to go. Milt will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Marcie, son Marshal Steller (Sharon) of San Jose, California; daughter Linda Andersen (Roger) of Queensland, Australia; five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A private service was held at Fairhaven Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations are made to the Heart Institute or Cancer Center at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, California. We at 10-4 will miss Milty, but we know that he lived a long and happy life, and that helps to ease the pain of saying good-bye.
