James Richard McMillen

He was born December 16, 1951, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Anna Louise (Boud) and Dick LaRue McMillen. Jim valued education and earned two Master degrees: one from Xavier University and one from Akron University. He passed along his love of learning to the students he taught for over 30 years, mostly at Maple Heights schools.

Jim enjoyed rock music and was a movie enthusiast. Most of all, he was the greatest father anyone could hope to have. He was very family oriented and enjoyed the time spent with his loved ones.

He is survived by his mother, Anna McMillen; wife of 32 years, Susan Ann Aspley McMillen; twins, Anna McMillen and Alexander James (Katie Lynn) McMillen; sister, Judy (Alan) Mudd; brother-in-law, Billy (Gina) Aspley; niece, Sarah Aspley; and nephew, Jed Aspley. He was preceded in death by his father.

There will be no visitation or services at this time. The Ontario Home of Wappner Funeral Directors is honored to serve the family.
