Larry Milnes died Saturday of a heart attack. He was 85. Milnes was Fremont’s public works director from 1959 – 1974, and assistant city manager from 1974 to 1989.

He played a key role in the construction of Lake Elizabeth and the formation of Ardenwood Historic Farm. He had lived in Fremont since 1960 and was a member of Niles Rotary. I’ll get some more info on him for an obit in tommorow’s paper.
