Robert Harvey Milner

Robert Harvey Milner, a resident of Claremore, OK, passed away on April 15, 2021, after an extended illness.  He was 63.

Robert was a long-time resident of Denver, Colorado.  After following in his father’s footsteps and serving in the United States Air Force, he returned to Denver and was employed as the manager of the fishing department at a popular sporting goods store.

Robert was a self-taught historian.  Of special interest to him were World War II, the Civil War and the Confederacy.
