Miller was an avid golfer and fisherman. Miller, his son, and grandson all played on the
Pascagoula High School Golf team. Miller enjoyed his retirement traveling with his wife and
family to Cape San Blas, watching the sunset and eating oysters. Miller was a devoted husband,
father, grandfather, and friend to all leaving a legacy for all around him. He was not only a
loving partner, but also a best friend to Charlene Power of 51 years. His warmth and selflessness
will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his time with us was
far too short, the memories he created will remain in our hearts forever, serving as a testament to
the incredible person he was.

Per his request we will be having a scattering ceremony at a later date.
