BOCA RATON — Milton Stanley Holz of Boca Raton died April 2. He was 88 years old.
Born in Jersey City, N.J., in 1922, Mr. Holz attended New York University and served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He married his beloved wife, Shirley, in 1946. The couple was married for 65 years.
He was a remarkably humble man, according to his son, Dr. Bruce Holz of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea.
“My father preferred no formalities be made upon his death. He didn’t seek honor in life or death,” said Dr. Holz. “He just led an honorable life.”
Mr. Holz worked in the advertising business in New York City before moving to northern New Jersey to open his own business, Contract Cleaning Inc., in Plainfield. Following retirement in the late 1980s, Mr. and Mrs. Holz moved to Boca Raton.
In addition to his wife, and son, Mr. Holz is survived by son and daughter-in-law Richard and Ruth Holz of Greenwich, Conn., son Scott Holz of Arlington, Va.; grandsons Craig Holz of Greenwich, David Holz of San Francisco, Calif., and Steven Holz of Orlando; granddaughter Megan Holz of Stamford, Conn.; and two great-grandchildren.
A private service and interment was held at South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a favorite charity.
