He was also a Hortonville Volunteer Fire Fighter and a lifelong member of Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church. Milt was a graduate of Hortonville High School class of 1947 where he was very active in basketball and baseball. He was inducted into the Hortonville High School Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013 and remained a devoted lifelong Hortonville High School sports fan. Milt enjoyed attending his grandchildrens' various activities. Milt won the 1967 Professional Archers Association Indoor State archery championship. Milt owned and operated Collar Stalker Archery for many years and got many people in the Hortonville area interested in the sport of archery. He was a Bear Archery dealer and Fred Bear gave him a private tour of the Bear Archery Plant in Grayling, MI. He was an accomplished ping pong player, coached many softball teams and rarely missed watching a Brewer, Packer or Badger game. An avid deer and bear hunter, Milt was a lifetime member of the Wisconsin Bowhunters Association. Some of his favorite times were spent at his hunting cabin in Waupaca. In his earlier years, he enjoyed spending time with his family during annual vacations to the Minocqua area. Milt is survived by his wife of 35 years, Shirley, his children and grandchildren: Jolene (Larry) Lamers, son Clint Lamers; Brad (Jean) Collar, children Jodie Collar, Danny (Julie) Collar and their children Easton and Madelyn, and Kristina Collar; Janelle (Steve) Puckett, children Matt (Erika) Cooper and Derek Puckett (fiancé Sam Nimmer); and Jana Collar (fiancé Don Ogden).
