We mourn the loss of Milton Funchess, who passed away on December 17th at the age of 92. Milton was a dedicated and fierce supporter of workers’ rights and social justice. He was one of the founders of Senior Action Network (which merged with Planning for Elders to become SDA). He was a longtime member of Unite Here Local 2, a delegate to the Labor Council, and the President of the Council’s Federation for Retired Union Members. Milton was also a great cook – owning several restaurants in the Fillmore area, back in the day, as well as one in Guam. He loved to dance and was a faithful member of Glide Memorial Methodist Church for over 50 years. He will be sorely missed.
A memorial service for Milton will be held at Glide Memorial United Methodist Church (333 Ellis Street in San Francisco) on Sunday, January 12, 2014 at 1:00 PM.
