Paul J. Miller was a thoughtful mentor to me during my 13 years at SCNR. His glass always was half-full and his door always open to discuss legal and other issues du jour. His leadership skills were exemplary and his integrity beyond reproach.

Michal: Paul was a good friend and mentor to me, particularly during those early years when I took over the reins of the ICAA. He will be fondly remembered and truly missed. You are in my thoughts. With love, David Tittsworth

Dear Mrs. Miller,
Please accept my condolence on the passing of your husband Paul. I worked at SCNR (now Denton's) for 25 years and Paul was one of the kindest people in the Firm. I will always remember seeing him in the elevator with nothing but his suit coat and a scarf around his neck, ready to make the brisk walk home. As I am sure you know, Paul was a bright light in many lives and he will be sorely missed. You have my prayers.

Michal, I was fortunate to have Paul's advice and friendship while serving as Oil-Dri's General Counsel. He personified all that is good about being a member of the bar ... and being a concerned citizen of the places he loved. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

Dear Mrs. Miller and Family
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Miller's passing. He was the kindest, warmest and funny boss I ever worked for. He made coming to work a pleasure. I will always remember sharing dunkin donuts coffee with him every morning. He will always hold a place in my heart. My deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Michal,
This is Cousin Amy Miller writing. I was so sad to hear of Cousin Paul's passing, so just wanted to send my love and sympathies to all of you. It was the beach that held us all together and I will always remember all the wonderful times. I can still see Paul and you reading the auction pages at the beach and raiding the freezer for the Brigham's ice cream and being in the water and taking me to Paragon, I will never forget when you came to Brookline after Daddy was killed to be there for all of us. One big wonderful family and that beautiful beach house. The memories never fade. All my love to you, Robin, John, Anthony and Douglas and their families.
