I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was such a big help to me when my husband Paul J.Durkin, a police officer was killed in 1987. He had such kind words and helped me with alot of pension related business.

I will miss Larry greatly, though I haven't seen him as often as I would have liked lately. As a professional he work closely and coopertively with the Street Dept while I was there. I will miss golfing with him in FOP outings as well. Larry made me laugh which is a great and generous gift.

To Larry Miller's family ... there are no words to express my deepest sympathy regarding Larry's passing.Having retired from the Hudson P.D. after thirty plus years I fondly recall Larry's hearty laughter and his professionalism in the law enforcement community recalling his introduction to me by the late Lt. James Rogers of the former Hudson Twp. P.D. with which I began my law enforcement career in 1974 having served part-time previous to that. The years having gone by all to quickly and rest assured that Larry will be sadly missed and also rest in the knowledge that he is in God's loving arms. Respectfully, David R. Heckman

To Mary, Matt, and all the Miller Family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I think back of the times on Hudson Drive, when I would see Larry's patrol car in your drive. There were times where he had stopped "home" for lunch or after working a full shift. I could hear his laugh and his deep voice as he greeted Aunt Annie. It may seem childish now, but I remember how I felt safe and protected because my cousin was a police officer.I know Larry touched many lives and brought happiness to so many people. Bill and I will keep you in our prayers. Paula and Bill Folk (Dayton, OH)

I met Larry when I worked at P&S Ambulance in the early 80s. He agreed to be a reference when I applied for the Stow Police Reserve, and gave me my start in Law Enforcement. 26 Years later I am myself a Lieutenant, and I treasure the assistance and guidance Larry gave me so long ago. My deepest sympathy to the Miller family. Larry will be greatly missed.

Lisa, Lynn and Linda: I just wanted to extend my deepest regrets in the passing of Uncle Larry. As a child I remember him coming to Grandpas home and he was so impressive in his uniform and was the main reason for my career choice. My prayers and thoughts go out to the entire family, and especially to Aunt Lenore. May God bless.

Larry Miller was the oldest of the Miller cousins, and I am the youngest. My memories of him are from my childhood, when he would visit and laugh at the dining room table with my Mom and Dad (Joe and Betty Miller). I also remember them talking about God and the Bible. I remember him as a man of faith, who knew how to laugh. I imagine there is a big party in Heaven this week amongst the Millers.
