Stuart Creighton Miller Distinguished Historian and Teacher Stuart Creighton Miller, Professor Emeritus of Social Science, History, and International Relations at San Francisco State University died on September 16, 2010 at the age of eighty-three in Sausalito, California.

He is survived by his wife Valerie Miller; by his daughter Sarah Fanny Cardozo, his grandsons Nathan and Noah Cardozo and their other mother, Linda Ruth Cardozo; by his son Isaac Miller and Isaac's partner Jyllian Gunther; by Naomi Miller, Stuart's first wife and mother of his children, who remained a dear friend to the end; and by the children of his beloved older sister, the late Olive Keeler, who was his earliest mentor and teacher. He has donated his body to the Willed Body Program at the University Of California School Of Medicine in San Francisco. A private memorial will be held at a later date.

12 years since his passing but I still enjoy recounting my brag about once being mistaken for Stuart as I swam from Newcomb Hollow to Ballston Beach. I miss being able to swim at length in the ocean (for fear of being mistaken for a seal, not Stuart), and those early memories of his modeling great fitness and an active lifestyle as a grownup, to this starry eyed beach kid.

Sending love to Naomi, Sarah, Isaac and all your loved ones. I am so glad to have had a tiny bit of Stuart in my early life.

I am so sorry to hear of Stuart's death. I'll tell Erik and Tim and I know we will continue to remember him from those many summers we watched him on his longboard catching the perfect waves and seeing him far out beyond the breakers doing his powerful swims. There's Stuart! we'd always say, and it was somehow reassuring. I'll go over to Ballston Beach today and walk for him, by the ocean he loved. It's a beautiful warm day, and the waves will be big.

With deep sympathy
