Milton "Milt" D. Rindahl

Lt. Colonel Milt Rindahl, born on September 20, 1937, was a dedicated and decorated officer in the United States Air Force. He passed away peacefully on July 22, 2024. Known for his unwavering commitment to his country and deep faith, Milt read Psalm 91 over his family twice a day, drawing strength and comfort from these words of truth.

Milt graduated from Oakes High School in North Dakota and North Dakota State University, where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering. He furthered his education with a Master’s in Civil Engineering from Purdue University.

Beyond his professional achievements, Milt was known for his kindness, integrity, and commitment to his community and church. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, guiding him through both triumphs and challenges. Milt enjoyed watching "Give Him 15," "Flashpoint," and tackling challenging crossword puzzles. You would frequently find him enthusiastically supporting his favorite teams: the Purdue Boilermakers, the Cleveland Indians, and giving a special cheer for the North Dakota State Bison. Milt was a man of routine, walking a mile and a half six days a week. He took pride in maintaining his garden and ensuring the lawn was just right. Milt's dedication to civic duty was evident in his faithful service at every political election, working the polls and celebrating the freedom to vote. Milt devoted many years to serving as an Aglow advisor.
