Pulling Teeth, Repairing Fixtures All The Same For Uncle Milton
ILTON
E. RAPPAPORT, a beloved
orthodontist of Garden City, N.Y., died at age 89 on March 27 of
Parkinson’s. He left countless relatives, friends and fellow World
War Two veterans at the American Legion to grieve for him.
His nephew, James Joseph, an
attorney, was quite eloquent, and funny, at the funeral. He was
impressed with his uncle’s skills as "Mister Fixit."
As soon as he entered your home, Joseph
related, Uncle Milton would instantly identify something that needed
repair—and he’d get to work and fix it.
"He was a plumber, electrician, carpenter,
landscaper and locksmith. It’s amazing what you learn at dental
school."
