I served on the Vanderburgh County Council for 4 years with Bill Miller and this man was a credit to the school corporation, Vanderburgh County and to mankind.  He will always be remembered by me with kind thoughts.  Paul Kinney

Mr. Miller was a great man. Awesome role model and leader.

I don't think I would have survived McGary if it hadn't been for Mr Miller.

Dear Aunt Mattie and Cousin Kori, The world has been and always will be a better place because of Uncle Willie's contributions. He was an uncle of great wisdom, the salt of the earth and the light of the world. His light will never be extinguished, because of the testimonials of his family, friends, former students, and his legacy of hard work, honesty, integrity, love, compassion, self control, faith, peace, and patience. "I will always love the motivation he placed in me. Ozetta (Neice)

Mrs. Miller and Kori-

Very few basketball goals could standing the pounding of kids from Chandler Ave. and Bayard Park Dr. in the late 60s, but the one Mr. Miller erected in the the back of your home driveway did. Just like that goal I'll always remember Mr. Miller for his strength. Later in life it was his kind encouragement... growing up as a child in the neighborhood and then being privileged to serve on the Evansville African American Museum Board of Directors with him for several years was truly a Blessing for me. 

To both of you, Be Ye Encouraged.

May God comfort you in your time of sorrow. Willie was a great friend and classmate. He will be deeply missed.
Eleanor Towler (Pasadena CA)

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Mattie,
I heard of Bill's passing and am deeply saddened for you and Kori's loss.  Bill and I shared a connection of family from Sebree, Ky and later at Evansville College (U. of E.). Both, you and Bill were role models to me and I admired both of you tremendously.
God be with you and all of the family, in these difficult days.
Sincerely,
Delores Johnson Price

Dear Mattie,

Gwen and I, extend to you and Kori our sincere sympathy. We thank God for Bill's life, his service in church and community, and for his words of encouragement to all.

Yours truly,

Mattie and Family
My condolences go out to you at this time.  May God's Blessings be with you.

Mattie and Kori,
We are so sorry for your loss. May the Lord bless you during this time of sorrow.

To the Miller Family,

Words can't express the impact that Bill and Mattie have had on our community. He was such a kind, caring, and classy individual that always had time for a visit . As a school community , we depended on Bill on so many occasions to handle our schools with the kind of attention they deserved, he always was a voice of reason and enjoyed the one on one contact with his students. We offer our deepest sympathy to the Miller Family.God Bless.

Mike Duckworth

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Dear Mattie,  I was so sorry to hear about your loss.  My brother. Stan (Ensner), told me about it last night.  I'm so sorry I wasn't able to give you a personal hug.  He was such an amazing person, as you are...  I know my Mother thought the world of you two also.  You're in my prayers.
Anne (Ensner) Effinger

Mrs. Mattie....thinking of you. Mr. Miller was a great man and will be missed. I think of the days at Lincoln High School and how the both of you were our Mentors. God bless and keep you and your  family. Again, Mr. Miller will be missed. He was an icon in our community!

Mattie and Kori, I am sorry to hear about Will's passing. I have fond memories of him. He was a genuinely nice person with an easy smile and mellow disposition. I'm sure the wonderful comments and memories people share with you here online and over the next few days will reaffirm for you how much he was loved and admired.

I am very shocked and sorry to hear the passing of a very good man. As others have noted, he was ALWAYS on the side of people who came from the wrong end of the track. He cared about the people surrounding him. "Second chance" was his middle name. He always made me feel at ease as a substitute teacher part of which enabled me to be a teacher at a private school. I ALWAYS loved his morning announcements, replete with pats on the backs and compliments concerning student achievements. I NEVER saw him without a smile and/or positive attitude. Now, he is in a better place. It hurts because someone who meant a lot to me is gone. But again, he's taken his positive demeanor where the angels will use it in a mighty way. They need him.

Cousin Mattie and Kori, 
May you feel comfort knowing that your family is with you.  May God continue to bless you.  We will pour libation for Willie tomorrow.  Peace and Love

Mr.Miller was an awesome man. He was fair.firm and sensitive all at the same time. He was principal of McGary when my daughter was there. He once told me " Nothing will come before my children" and he showed that in many ways. My daughters graduated 8th grade and he retired the same year. I made him a banner and had all the 8th graders sign it. When we presented it to him he cried. It was given to him at the beginning of the year and hung in his office the entire year. He will be sorely missed. What a GREAT man.

Mrs. Miller, I'm so sorry for your loss, he will be greatly missed by all. Please rest assured that he will be with Jesus creating works in Heaven. I Love you. Dorma Chinn and Family

Mrs. Miller,
May God continue to be with you and your family at such a time as this. God Bless you all.

Dear Mattie,
It is with great sorrow that I write this note. I shall always remember Bill as my assistant principal at Cynthia Heights, my colleague, my friend and especially my mentor's husband. May God strengthen your family at this difficult time.

Dear Mattie,
It was wonderful to see you again and hear your words of condolence at my mom's funeral visitation. I'm sorry to hear such a short time later of your husband's passing. My Bible study today was, I Thess 4:13-14, about grieving - 
"not as those who have no hope"!  May that truth be a comfort to you at this sad time. My love and prayers and gratitude for how you influenced my life in so many great ways as an outstanding teacher.

Bill Miller, one of my favorite persons. Outstanding educator, even better person. The entire Evansville community is better because Bill lived among us. He made a difference. What more could any of us ask of our lives.

Dear Mattie and Kori, I always felt a special fondness and attachment for Will. My last memory of him was bringing my daughter Shadia to visit the family, and how warmly we were welcomed and how completely at home my daughter felt. He was a wonderful man. As a member of the Jewish faith, we say "May his memory be for a blessing". With love, Mahari R. Tilahun (nee Ron Hicks), Los Angeles, CA.

Bill was a nice genuine person and I'm a better person for knowing him.

Jock Stucki

My prayers go out to the family as Uncle Willie will truly be missed by so many.  When I think about history books  . . . .I hope to one day view my Uncle Willie's outstanding accomplishments in life. What a Legend!  May God give the family peace in knowing that one of His angels have been sent home.

The Evansville community was so much better because of Mr. Miller's leadership, integrity, wisdom and caring spirit. What a great man!  He inspired and encouraged me.  Mrs. Miller, you and Kori have my sympathies and I am in prayer for both of you.

Although we only met face to face once, he was a great man and had a wonderful spirit.  My condolences to his sibling, spouse, other family, friends, and his grandsons and granddaughter

Dr Miller, I used your advice you gave me 30 years ago, and it helped. You were a wise, and fair man. Many students from the "Old Culver" looked up to you, especially that nice day of June 8th, 1982, when you stayed at the school until the very last student was able to go home. May God Bless you and your family, and Rest In Peace Sir!

best principal a student could ever have! you will be missed but another angel is watching over us now.  May God comfort you in your time of sorrow. RIP Mr. Miller!

Our sincere condolences go out to you, Mattie and Kori in this time.  Your family has always been admired and highly thought of by us.  May you have many wonderful memories to ease the passing of Bill.
