Ramon "Mickey" E. McMillen

Mickey owned and operated McMillen Concrete Septic Tanks from 1951 to 1980. He loved old farm equipment, old cars and the outdoors - he was an avid hunter, outdoors-man and ran field trial dogs for many years. He started to go to field trials as a young man, which is where he met the love of his life, Nancy Leaman.

He loved watching Ohio State football and golf tournaments. Mickey loved game shows especially, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, and at 11:00 a.m. every day, you’d be guaranteed to find him at home watching The Price Is Right.

Mickey was married June 25, 1949 to Nancy L. Leaman McMillen, and they celebrated 70 years of marriage this year and she survives him. He is the father of Ramon (Tracie Weller) McMillen, Randy (Kathy) McMillen, Terry (Wanda Crisp) McMillen, Tracy (Sue) McMillen, Joyce (Ray, deceased) Steinle and Jody (Dave) Edwards; grandfather of nine granddaughters and six grandsons; Touby (Jill) McMillen, Jason (Crystal) McMillen, Lynde (Ray) Reedy, Jennifer (Matthew) McMillen Smith, Chris (Melissa) McMillen, Mary Ann (Shane) Morrow, Malea (Todd) Kanzig, Tricia (Mike) Fisher, Robyn (Jason) Stone, Craig (Sarah) McMillen, Leeland Waller, Jolene Edwards, Joni (Adam) Hiller, Ryan (April) Strickler and Nicky Strickler; twenty-nine great-grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; and uncle of Glenn "Mick" Miller, Cheryl (Bill) Lawrence and Nancy Jo (Duane) Thorpe.
