In Memoriam
Dick Milham
Explore the creative work and life of a devoted husband, father, speaker, businessman, and artist.
A Life Well-Lived
His Story
The Brooklyn-born son of Lebanese immigrants Khalil Sayyah and Eugenie Helou, Dick came to Orlando in 1940. He lived a youth of mischief, meeting Jesus at a Youth for Christ rally as a teenager.
Among The Tribe
Roots
Dick was filled with gratitude for the many advantages being born in the United States provided him yet he seamlessly incorporated his Middle Eastern roots and oriental mind into his most American of a life.
On the Road
The Businessman
Dick Milham of Orlando, Florida has been called a “Consultant’s Consultant.” He set high expectation for himself and others, because he believed one never rises above their own expectations.
From the Stage
Speaker & Performer
With a commanding yet joyful presence, Dick was in-demand as a pastor, businessman, teacher, talk radio host, motivational speaker, and recording artist.
With Pen and Piano
Author & Composer
Books, sermons, songs, dissertations, articles, youth musicals, and more, typing with two fingers, writing music with two piano chords, and strumming on a ukelele.
Before the Canvas & Behind the Camera
Artist & Photographer
Dick’s painting and photography captured natural scenes that were beautiful, authentic, or ironic – like a gaggle of Santas piling into a New York City van, or Frosty among the manger in the neighbor’s yard.
“Aristotle said that the quest for knowledge begins in ‘wonder’ and for many believers that wonder points to a powerful, personal God.”
