Quotes about Larry H. Miller

Greg Miller, son

Greg Miller said his dad lived a "charmed life."

"I really got a sense of that through the last week I was with him, and I learned more about him. It was a real eye-opener to see how many meaningful relationships he maintained throughout his life with kids that he grew up with, commonly known as the Capitol Hill Gang," he said. "I think that's a wonderful tribute to him, his loyalty and the depth of his friendship."

Greg talked further about his father's loyalty and his devotion to his marriage. "He spent his entire life with one woman," he said. "They had the 50-year anniversary of their first date a couple of weeks before he passed on."

He talked about a devoted family man who raised five children who went on to have 21 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Even at the end of his life, he brought the family closer together, Greg said. "We all loved Dad, he inspired us to be better," he said. "I believe he can live on in all of us as we honor him by doing the things that he did."

"I'm not sure I could count the ways that I've benefitted from my dad and the things that he's done for me, personally, and for us, collectively," he said.
