MADISON -Milton Holiday Paul, age 91, passed away at his home in Madison, WI on January 31, 2017.

Milton was born in Philadelphia, PA to Israel and Stella (Gassel) Paul. After graduating from Philadelphia's Central High School, Milton attended college and graduated from medical school at the University of Pennsylvania (Medical School Class of 1948). He served in the U.S. Navy (stationed in San Diego), and later in the U.S. Army (posted to the Walter Reed National Medical Center).

Milton was an enthusiastic lifelong pursuer of knowledge, Jewish life and learning, art and music.
