Peter Miller Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 18, 2024.
Peter Miller, 92, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2024. Peter loved his family and friends with an intense passion - his children, Bruce, Susie, and Danny Miller, his son-in-law, Jeff Tweedy, and daughter-in-law, Kendall Hailey, and his beloved grandchildren, Spencer and Sammy Tweedy and Léah and Charles Miller. Peter was a devoted son to the late Jeanette Miller, brother to the late William and Marvin, and adored uncle, cousin, and friend to so many. Born into poverty in Chicago during the Great Depression, Peter started working at a very young age and was forever in search of his fortune. In the process, he was loved by all for his humor, kindness, storytelling, and menschiness in all ways. Though he never did make those millions, his fortune was far greater than anything money could buy - his unparalleled ability to love and be loved. The women in his life, Judy, Marilyn, and Ellen, felt special in his eyes, but so did all he came in contact with. Su memoria será siempre una bendición. Chapel service Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at 12:00 PM at Chicago Jewish Funerals, 8851 Skokie Blvd (at Niles Center Road), Skokie. Interment at Shalom Memorial Park. Donations in his honor may be made to Emanuel Congregation, 5959 N. Sheridan Road Chicago, IL 60660, www.emanuelcong.org or Letters to Santa charity, www.letterscharity.org.

My deepest sympathies to the entire family for your loss. Unfortunately, I only knew Peter 'virtually,' but judging from his daughter and grandchildren, he was a wonderful person. Sending prayers of healing, may God comfort you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

The legacy of a such a man is simply his children and grandchildren, and how they make the world a better place. Well done sir.
