Thomas Edward Miller, 70 of Freeville, NY passed away Saturday, July 5, 2025.

He was born August 11, 1954 in Ithaca and was employed at the Ithaca Journal until it moved from Ithaca. Most recently he has been a taxi driver with Ithaca Dispatch where he loved interacting with his passengers. He was a quiet but generous man who would give anyone anything within his power if he thought it would help them.

Tom is survived by his daughter, Kari Welch of Groton, NY, his son, Paul Miller of Lansing, NY and his very best friend, Jeff Stetson of Freeville, NY. He is also survived by many other friends and extended family members.

A celebration is being held later this summer.
