My wife and I had the pleasure of moving behind John and Wendy in 2004. They were the 1st ones to greet us with home made cookies. He was the best neighbor anyone could have. We were stunned to hear of his passing. Our sincere condolences are with Wendy and their 2 sons.

John was my co-worker and friend. I will so miss his yearly Christmas letter updating everyone with his and Wendy's annual trips and activities. What an amazing difference he made in so many lives as a teacher, humanitarian, family member and friend.  To Wendy, Mark, Rusty and your families:  I hope your many happy and full memories will provide comfort in your time of loss.  John will be missed by so many.

Dear Wendy, Russ, Mark, Ann and Christine.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  We have spent 35+ years as not only next door neighbors but as family...John will be missed more than I can say. My father will really be lost without him coming in and watching westerns...

I love this photo...brings back a lot of memories....

Wendy - It is difficult to know what to say at a time of sadness and loss like yours, but we hope it is of some comfort to know we care and our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you and your family.

We knew John from our high school days. John ran track with Wayne. We are so very sorry for your loss... Lifting the family in prayer. Wayne & Connie Barnes

As an educator we talk about those who influenced us or made an impact in our lives. Mr Miller was undoubtedly one of those teachers. He brought creativity, laughter and enjoyment into the classroom. I am so fortunate to have had Mr. Miller as my 6th grade teacher. He impacted my life and I can only hope to be half the educator he was.   He was truly an amazing man who led and taught by example. Prayers are with the Miller family.

Prayers to your family....So sorry to hear of your loss.

I had the privilege of having Mr. Miller as my third and sixth grade teacher many years ago. I still remember his kind smile and caring ways. He was silly when we needed a laugh and also expected the best from us as students. I remember him being so excited to have us make fish print t-shirts using real fish!!! I still have a pencil he gave all of us at Christmas time. And his famous response to our question "Can I go to the bathroom?" was "I don't know, can you?". Mr. Miller was an inspiration to all his students. His students looked up to him with the highest respect. And he was one of the amazing teachers that I had as a child that inspired me to become a teacher too!! A wonderful, caring man who will be missed by all those he touched in so many ways over the years! My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

 I always enjoyed  seeing you after Tuesday golf at Pinecrest John. I am still mystified as to how you got that mustache trim so perfectly :-) I was also pleased to support your bicycle run down to AC  every year. I will miss you John. RIP

Our deepest sympathy to Wendy and her family.

I had the pleasure of playing golf with John.  A gentleman and truly nice guy. My prayers are with with Wendy and her family.  Mary Sivel

John made everyone feel that he had all the time in the world for each person...never rushing conversation or activity. I will treasure the special tape he made for me of New Orleans jazz and remember the great times on mission trips. My condolences to Wendy and Bonnie and all the family,

My thoughts and prayers to the Miller family.

I am so saddened to hear of John's passing. I have many fond memories of teaching with John. He is such a memorable part of our beginning years at Titus. His warmth and enjoyment of life will be remembered. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.

I was just telling my 6th-grader son that my favorite teacher in elementary school was Mr. Miller.  I am so very sorry to hear of his passing.  He had such a positive impact on me.  I was very shy, and he gave me the "Best Girl Citizen" award, which left me feeling special and appreciated.  My prayers go out to his family.  Thank you, Mr. Miller.

Wendy, Mark and Russell,
Our sincere condolences to you! We lift you up in prayer at this sad time. May The Heavenly Father hold you and comfort you with His peace and grace. John was a gentleman and one of the kindest colleagues with whom I had the honor to work.

Wendy, I always enjoyed running events with John....yes always from behind him! He was a funny and good man who was great to be around. Janeen really enjoyed your Borough walking group. Prayers to you and your family. Steve White

Wendy & family, Dale & I are sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers & thoughts.

I had Mr. Miller as a teacher in 1989-1990 when his "iconic white mustache" was an more of an iconic grey mustache.  My favorite memory happened the year after 6th grade, when I had gone to Unami for 7th grade.  Mr. Miller showed up at my house one evening to see how everything was going.  He knew I had trouble in math and wanted to see how I was getting along in math.  The only teacher who ever came to my house!  I was shocked, but also so flattered that he remembered me and cared enough to check in.  Now I am a teacher (in high school) and if I can have a fraction of the impact on a student he had on me, that will be a successful career.  Gone but never forgotten!

Dear Wendy,  so sorry to hear about John.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Cindy (Maute) venema

I am so sorry to hear of his passing - I will be praying for your family!

Wendy and family,

I am so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful man.  My one silly memory of John is when he used to complain about Wendy hanging the washing out in good weather.  He would say stiff underwear time again.
I had the privilege of being John and Wendy's neighbor for many years.  He will be greatly missed.

My dearest Wendy and golf buddy, Jim and I are so saddened on John's passing. I will always remember you saying he was your best friend. Please accept our sincere condolences .  Holly and Jim Reustle

I had the privilege of having Mr Miller as my 6th grade teacher approximately 27 years ago.He was the absolute best teacher ever. He will NEVER be forgotten. He will be missed by many

To one of the best teachers a child could ever have. I have nothing but the fondest memories of Titus thanks to you. RIP Mr Miller
