Not sure what to say?

I worked for William Miller in the Sports Publicity Office at Manhattan College from 1951 until 1954. He obtained a sports stringer slot with the New York Times. There I covered a great many different sporting events in and around NY City. He was a great and kind friend. I am certain that anyone who knew him misses him. I hope to see him in heaven and we can share old sports tales with each other.

on behalf of my late father Edwin Strauss who was your insurance agent I want to express my sympathies for your loss. I remember Dad was displaying his DeCoupage plaques in the Gibson Store in Montvale New Jersey & how Bill came to Dad's wake, speaking to my late mother. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Miller Family, Just learned of the passing of your great Dad! I first met Bill when I was a freshman at Manhattan College in 1949! We became fast friends. He invited me to many sports events through the years. We also worked together at Community Counseling Service, INC in the Empire State Building. I live in Seattle and had an hour's chat with Bill about a year ago. I have told my wife and children about Bill and what a wonderful person and friend he was. I knew Joan too and now...

Such a sweet man. The Angels are rejoicing! Prayers and blessings to the miller family.

Sorry for your lost!! I'll pray for you.

I worked for Bill as a sports public student writer and he got me a job as a stringer. He was a great boss and a fine man. He will be missed by all that knew him especially those Quadrangle editors at Manhattan College.

To all family and friends : I am very sorry for your loss . Losing a loved one is very difficult . I hope all can be together during this time and may God be with you as well (Phil 4:6, 7)

Thad, we were so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Reading that your Father was a wonderful storyteller explains it all! You are your father's son.
Norma Dunn and Lauren James Harstad

Thad, Maryellyn and Family,
