Obituary of Michael L. Miller

Michael L. Miller From his perch at St Mary's, Michael began a new adventure on Sunday, June 2, 2024 after a battle of nearly 2 years. He was born on October 23, 1946 to the late Leo, Sr., and P. Olive Evans Miller in Belle Valley. His early career was in fast food management but most of his years were dedicated to the antique business, finally settling in at Walker House Antiques in 1992. Michael was comfortable riding an elephant through the jungle or lying in the grass in the evening gazing up at the Eiffel Tower. He was happiest when spinning a tale of yesteryear, joking with a customer, entertaining friends and family, or having a few puffs on the terrace. Those puffs, Michael acknowledged, were his undoing. He quipped “I did it to myself”. Besides his parents, Michael was preceded in death by his sister Kathleen Stadler. He also lost 2 brothers in the last year, Leo and Phillip Miller. He leaves behind his beloved of nearly 43 years, Tom NeCastro, his brother Ron (Linda) and sisters-in-law Barbara Miller and Karen Miller, friendships of many decades, plus a slew of nieces, nephews, and in-laws that truly loved Michael. He was touched by the kindness and compassion of the health care community at St Mary's, Hillman and UPMC Hamot. They did much to ease his journey. Friends may call at the Dusckas-Martin Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 4216 Sterrettania Rd. on Thursday, June 6, 2024 from 1 pm until the time of Memorial Service there at 4 pm. Private interment.
