Milton Koja, Steve’s long-time friend and friend of the show, passed away yesterday after a brief illness. Besides being a regular here on “The Morning Show” has was a staple in area bars and restaurants, providing musical entertainment for years. He also fought for the rights of those who are visually impaired, like that time three years ago when he wasn’t allowed into a local restaurant with his service dog, Nash…
That was Milton on WNBC Newschannel 4 when he had his beef with Subway, a problem that was quickly rectified. He also was a frequent contributor to the show…calling when we first went back on the air to reminisce with Steve about going for walks in the park…
Visitation will be held from 2-4pm on Tuesday, March 24th at the Joseph W. Sorce funeral home in West Nyack. A service is expected later this summer. Milton was 74.
