Daniel T. Littleton, 92, of Milton, passed away peacefully Friday, May 18, 2012, at his residence, surrounded by his large loving family. He was born Feb. 19, 1920, in Lewes, son of the late Daniel H. C. and Ethel (Rodgers) Littleton.
A life-long resident of Lewes, Mr. Littleton graduated from Lewes High School, class of 1942. He farmed for many years in Lewes, worked at Beebe Medical Center in the plant engineering department, and retired in 1985 from the state of Delaware highway department. Mr. Littleton loved to sing and dance and he had a green thumb that produced wonderful veggies and fruit. He was a jokester at heart and entertained everyone with his many stories. His favorite food was pizza and he satisfied his sweet tooth with jellies and pudding. He was a very loving husband, father, grandfather and friend who will always be remembered for his generosity and love of life.
