Read More	January 17, 1932 - December 3, 2020 Milton Clarice Sharp of Lincoln, 88, passed away peacefully on December 3, 2020, surrounded in love by his children. Milton was born in Vermilion, Alberta, Canada on January 17, 1932. His parents’ pursuit for a better life in Canada as homesteaders proved more difficult than they could have imagined. In 1937, they moved the family to Montana where his father found employment in the oilfields. Although his parents worked very hard to provide for their growing family, The Great Depression continued to take its toll on the Sharps. In 1942, they packed up and moved to Nevada where there was a Naval Ammunition Depot and many opportunities for good paying jobs and prosperity. Nevada became their beacon of hope. Milton graduated from Mineral County High School in Hawthorne, Nevada in 1951 where he enjoyed playing trombone and focusing on his artistic and academic achievements. After graduation, he worked various jobs including work at the Naval Base in Hawthorne. He then enlisted in the US Navy, where he proudly served from 1952-1956 and earned the rank of Dental Technician 2nd Class Petty Officer. His work in the Navy inspired him to pursue a career in dentistry. He attended the University of Nevada-Reno for two years, then transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for one year. Life’s circumstances and continued financial strain caused Milton to have to put his dream of dental school on hold. In 1959, Milton became smitten with a woman he had seen passing the halls in his apartment building in Lincoln. He finally asked Helen Drudik to accompany him to a Whoopee John polka dance at the Pla Mor Ballroom. It was their mutual love of polkas and waltzes that brought them together and sustained their joy for 46 years. The only thing that surpassed their love of music and dancing was their three children and 10 grandchildren. Milton was dedicated to providing a loving and financially stable home and put his own dreams aside by working long, and often difficult hours with the US Postal Service for 33 years. After Helen’s death in 2006, Milton found love again in Norma Nykodym and married in 2010. They spent many treasured moments together dancing and traveling to their winter home in Yuma, Arizona until her passing in 2016. Milton is survived by his three children David (Cathy) Sharp of Ottumwa, Iowa, Louise (Bob) Mooren of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Julie (Joel) Young of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, as well as grandchildren Dana Fernandez, Danny Fernandez, Corey (Misty) Sharp, Parker Vicroy, Evan Vicroy, Makayla Brenden, Jason Young, Jonathan Young, Jacob Young, and Justin Young. He is also survived by his brother Bernard (Peggy) Sharp of Fallon, Nevada and sister Patricia (Don) Fisk of Hawthorne, Nevada. Preceding him in death are wife Helen Sharp, wife Norma Sharp, his parents Phyllis and Clarice Sharp, brothers Larry (Gladys) Sharp and Robert (Janae) Sharp, and sister Yvonne (Pat) MacMurphy. The funeral service will be held at 10:30 am on Thursday, December 10, 2020 at First Plymouth Congregational Church, 2000 D St, Lincoln. The service will be live streamed, the link will be added here when available. Visitation will be on Wednesday at Butherus Maser and Love funeral home from 12 noon to 8 pm.
