Remembering 'Pop' on his birthday, February 25. He was such a great principal to work with 9 years at East Meck! I still miss the Christmas cards he used to send me. I hope his family is being blessed.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Pop Miller was the best principal a school could have! He was stern but could be comical! He knew how to relate to his students and everyone highly respected him! He was a principal that was unique, I feel blessed to have him for a principal and friend! Pop you were the best!

Such great memories of a great man!!!! You will be remembered and loved always!

Thanks Pop! God bless you for your works at East Meck High...sweet, sweet memories....

I will never forget pop Miller he was a great role model for West Charlotte students and our parents

Pop insisted that he come to our home to present my sister with her diploma . That really meant a lot to her and my family. RIP May we all meet again some day.

I am so sorry. Pop was one incredible person. I had the good fortune to teach for him right after I graduated from college at Carmel Junior High. Soon I became a high school principal and we were always in constant contact. He and my father were the most influential role models in my educational career. I learned so much from him and tried to be a high school principal like Mr. Miller.

What a fitting tribute to a fine man. A class act who impacted so many others on such a positive way. Skip, Mel and all of the family, you have much to be proud of.
