Our friend and colleague and wonderful horn player, Milton H. Blalack, passed away July 2, 2013, at age 75 years. He had just passed his birthday on June 30. Milt was a French horn player and member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for 38 years before his retirement in 2003. Before joining the Symphony under Max Rudolf, he was a member of the U.S. Army Band in Washington, D.C. and marched in the funeral procession of John F. Kennedy. He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Marcia, a CMA bassoonist. He was the devoted father of daughter Shannon of San Francisco, son Jason C. (Kate) of Boulder, Colorado and adoring Gramps of Evan Blalack. Funeral has been held and he is interred at Spring Grove Cemetery. Memorials can be made to the Northeast Church of Christ or the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
