I was shocked when I read my father's Masonic Lodge Notice today. My father, Chester Miller, was Doc's Past District Deputy Grand Marshal and will miss his Masonic buddy terribly, as will all of Doc's Masonic brothers.
On behalf of my father " Chet ", myself, my husband Brother Alan, and our daughter Marjorie, we extend our deepest sympathy to Claire, Nancy, Debra, John, and the rest of their families. I wish that we could have been there for Doc's Masonic Service. We will always remember and miss Doc's smiling face.

Mr. Musserian,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
