He was one of a kind. He was a very good customer and friend of Captain Post food service and he will be missed. He would always say “have a pickle” and talk to his loyal customers.

I was the night cashier, and spent many a wee morning hour under Mr. Parker's tutelage and supervision. I used to say there was nothing (and perhaps no one!) I hadn't seen at the Carnegie, and my years of training there have served me so well in all my subsequent work and life. I am grateful to Mr. Parker, and to his memory. He was a tough and very private man, but always found a way to express kindness to me, and even joy when we encountered one another in subsequent years. My sincere condolences to Millie, Marian, Jeffrey, and Sandy. I worked for Milton Parker and Leo Steiner for over a decade, beginning in 1979.

In the summer of 82 he took me to work one day and introduced me to Leo and to Mr. Parker (I never called him Milton). I got up the courage and asked them on the spot for a summer job while I was on break from school. They said yes and I was the youngest employee (14 years old) they had. I will never forget the three summers I worked there. I will always be grateful to both of them, Leo and Mr. Parker were tough but fair. Many lessons I learned from them will never be forgotten. I am now 41 and still say proudly my first job was at the Carnegie Deli. My condolences to the family. My father has been a counterman for close to 30 years at the Carnegie.
