Miller was born in Moore Montana on June 2, 1928 and graduated from high school there. He graduated from the University of Montana in 1950 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

    My thoughts and condolences to your family. I remember fondly the Scouting adventures of Troop 103 and the Mathews family’s involvement. I always appreciated Miller’s involvement in scouting and other local organizations and the friendship of your family.

    Miller was a member of our Helena SCORE chapter for several years and attended our 40th Anniversary Celebration in October 2012. He was one of those recognized at that event and we were pleased to see him at that time. As everyone knows, Miller’s financial background and attention to detail made him a valued counselor to local small businesses. We were sorry to learn of his recent death.
