I have nothing but fond and happy memories of Bill. My deepest sympathy to the Miller Family.
I heard of Bill’s death from an alumna of New Haven State Teachers College, where I attended and grauated with Lois. In fact,Lois and I attended all the grades together, starting from Kgn at Centerville Grammar School, Hamden High School and NHSTC. Bill was one of the best athletes of our Centerville .gang.. He could play any sport and excelled in baseball, softball (we pitched against each other several times) ice hockey and golf. I remember his mother, father and brother and sister very well. In 1953 after graduating from NHSTC I moved to California. During my several visits back to Connecticut (my wife is from New Britain)I ran into Bill two or three times at softball games where we had pleasant memories of our early years. I would like to extend my very best wishes to all Bill’s family and friends.
I was very sorry to here of Bills passing.We had many laughs on and off the golf course.Bill was one of the best storytellers i.ve ever met!
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Miller family. Bill was a very special part of our lives and will allows be fondly remembered. Jim, Robin, Kelly Ann and Ryan
