He was a life member of the Springdale VFW.  Mr. Miller served in the US Navy from 1965 to 1971.  He served with Navy Seal Team 2 as a River Patrol Boat captain as a First-Class Petty Officer Gunnersmate during the Vietnam war.  He was awarded 2 purple hearts, a Bronze Star with Combat ‘V” and numerous other medals.  Mr. Miller is survived by his wife of 45 years, Eileen Adams Miller, his children Kimberly Miller of Springdale, Lisa Miller of Springdale, “#3” Reda Lyons of Springdale, Grand-Dog Sam, Grand-Dog Louie and Grand-Dog Charlie (Chuckie as he called him). He is also survived by his brother Roy D Miller Jr. of Cheswick and a sister.  He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister Judith and a brother Timothy.  Friends will be received Tuesday August 4, 2020 from 2-4 pm and 6-8pm in THE CHARLES B.
