WOW! It make me smile to think back on my time growing up around Miller's Salvage learning how to work on cars, how to drive, crushing and loading cans, jumping car hoods with our bicycles. Jerry "JW" was a big part of quite a few things I learned growing up such as driving a stick shift in the old trevor tow truck. HA Celebrate memories of those old cookouts and softball games at Easter, Mother's Day, Fathers Day, etc. Miller Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all!
