Publish in a newspaper
He was born in Berlin, Ohio on July 4, 1938, to Clyde and Ruby (Kaser) Miller. Tim met his wife of 63 years, Joyce (Sweet) Miller, at Hiram College, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts. He also received his Master's in Administration from Akron and was a history/government teacher for over 30 years at Hiland High School and Buckeye JVS. In addition, he was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Berlin, taught Sunday school for many years, and knew that Jesus was his Savior.
He was known for his love of baseball and football especially Cleveland or Ohio State, chocolate, vegetable gardening, Wheel of Fortune, and was an avid golfer and fisherman. He was the best storyteller you would ever meet and spending time with any of his family was his favorite thing in the world.
Preceded in death by his wife Joyce (earlier this year) and his sister Carol Miller; Tim is survived by daughters Jackie (Mark) Shrock of Dalton and Gail (Brian) Shaffer of Dayton, son Craig Miller of Lake Charles, Louisiana; brother Stanley Miller of Berlin; grandchildren Ashton (Aaron) Shetler, Phillip (Jessica) Shrock, Emily Miller, Sara (Henry) Newberg, Olivia Miller, Abigail Shaffer, Rachel (Brandon) Hulbert, Hannah (David) Jacques, Luke Shaffer; great-grandchildren Leah, Benjamin, Jaxson, Anna and Maggie.

Joe and I will be with all the family in spirit this Saturday. We always looked forward to seeing Tim at family events and enjoyed the wonderful, interesting conversations with him. Tim was SUCH a kind and caring individual, and when you talked with him you felt he took a genuine interest in you and that you´d known him forever. His love for Joyce and hers for him was an inspiration to all who knew them. We will truly miss his presence at future family gatherings. Our thoughts, love and prayers,
Jan and Joe Cannelongo
