It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend, Bob (Lou Bob) Miller. He was born in Huntington, West Virginia on October 16, 1929 to Eunice and Louie T. Miller and left this world on September 18, 2022. He was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 66 years, Barbara J. Miller. Bob and Barb resided in Sun Lakes, Arizona, since 1987 after moving from the Chicago area.
Bob played a mean game of tennis to which his friends and teammates can attest. He was an avid Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Suns fan. When he no longer had his season tickets, you could find him in front of the tv voicing his advice loudly. He was a dedicated and loving family man who enjoyed family and friends around the table with lively conversation. He took care of Barbara when she battled Parkinson’s Disease and was always attentive to her. He lived life to the fullest and was always grateful for friends and family. Friends and family gathered from around the U.S. to celebrate his 90th birthday in 2019. He was surprised, amazed, and felt blessed by all who attended.
His warmth and kindness will be sorely missed by everyone. He leaves behind to carry on his legacy his children Larry (Shirley) Miller, Nancy (Jim) Carrell, Robin (Brian) Blaylock, and Tom (Luigina) Miller, and grandchildren Laurel, Lee (Lynsey), Shaun (Nadia), Samantha (Manny), Andy (Sara), Katelyn (Keith) and Amy, Kelly and Brandon, Michael (April) and Anthony. Also, his great-grandchildren Lilia and Violet, Langdon and Cadence, Ava and Atlas, DrewAn, Charlotte and Hank, Paxton and Pearl, Lily and Luna, Mia, Massimo, Matteo, and Milo, Milana, Camilla and Giovanni. He touched many lives, and recently he had a loving relationship with Joan Sisley.
We are very grateful to the care he received from Hospice and would appreciate donations to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, AZ 85014 in lieu of flowers. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during his recent hospital visits, rehab, and skilled nursing care; they were greatly appreciated.
Bob’s Memorial Service will be October 18, 2022, 11:00 a.m. at Risen Savior Lutheran Church, 23914 S. Alma School Road, Chandler, AZ 85248.
