JOHN MILLET Obituary

MILLET, John Michael "Mike" Age 67, Mike passed away peacefully at his home on November 6, 2023 after a three year battle with cancer. Mike was a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Mike was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the late John Michael Millet and Jane Nathans Millet. He is survived by his loving wife, Jeanne Rucki Millet; and their children, Bryant Millet and fiancée Dana Stemo, Alexandra (AJ) Millet, and James Millet and wife Caitlyn Millet; as well as brother Padraic Millet and wife Jane Harmon; brother Kelley Millet; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. Mike attended Glastonbury High School and earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. He had a successful career in technology sales, but his true loves were his family, reading, spending time in nature, and giving back to his community. He dedicated his time to the Westford Academy Athletic Boosters, Friends Advancing Music Education, Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library book sale, and tutoring students in conversational English. A Celebration of Life will be held in honor of Mike at a later date. Gifts in Mike's memory may be made to Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library, a place he often went to spend time with two of his great loves: books and Jeanne. Checks may be mailed with "Library Foundation" in the memo line to 50 Main Street, Westford, MA 01886. May the memories of Mike's kindness, generosity, booming voice, and warm spirit bring comfort to all those who mourn his loss.

Dear Jeanne and Family,
Sending my deepest condolences
To you all! I just heard about Mikes passing. I will truly miss that kind hearted, funny and engaging man! He always spoke so lovingly and adoringly about you Jeanne. I would get updates on the kids and he would just beam with pride talking about what each of them are up to. There is no doubt he put family first.
Wishing you all peace and comfort in the months and years to come

Sorry to hear the news of Mike's death. I have tons of fond memories of cousin Mike at family gatherings, usually at our grandparents house on Brunswick Road in Troy, NY.

Mike was a wonderful contributor to our Non-fiction book group at the Westford Library. As I remember, he finished each book and always had a thoughtful perspective and comments on the conversation. His notes on the author, writing style and subject will be greatly missed.

Our deepest condolences, from Mike's work friends. Mike was an absolutely wonderful man, always full of stories, particularly of his family. I got to know the kids through Mike, even though I never met them. Mike's passion for the Philadelphia Eagles was also a big one, although maybe we can't say that in Boston?? Incredibly bright, well read and always a joy to talk to. Mike's presence at the office is already missed.

I am was so devastated to hear this news from my father - my heart breaks for the wonderful Millet family. Mr Millet was our neighbor when I lived in Westford and he was such a wonderful friend to my father and was such a brilliant man. When my father could no longer run races with Mike because he had shattered his ankle, Mike forgo his running and took up mountain biking just to be a great friend to my father. He was there for him in good times and tough times. As he was for many others given his commitment to give back to his community. It was also so evident how much he loved his family - a truly amazing family. I am so so sad to hear this news and send my most heartfelt condolences.
