 Born in Oxford on January 1, 1923, he was the son of the late Harry and Mary Tresize Miller. He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Margaret Simmons; his son, Kevin G. and wife Rochelle Miller of Belvidere, NJ; his daughter, Debra Miller of Oxford, NJ; his sister, Fannie Baylor of Washington, NJ; three grandchildren, Robert, Kyle and Rayna; and one great-granddaughter, Zoey; and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by three brothers, John "Jack", Kenneth, and Robert, and two sisters, Evelyn Maginnis and Margaret Meixel. George was the owner and operator of George H. Miller Excavator, of Oxford, and an active member of his community. He was a charter member and past president of the Oxford Fire Company; a member of the Oxford Central School Board; 10 year representative of the Warren County Municipal Utilities Authority; and a member of the Hillside Cemetery Association of Oxford. During his lifetime as a member of the Oxford Second Presbyterian Church, George served his church in a variety of ways, including Superintendent of the Sunday school, and as an elder. He always had a warm smile to share, and a twinkle in his eye. He made all feel welcome and part of the family, and he is already deeply missed.
