Richard Miller Obituary

2/06/1932 - 11/02/2021 Richard James Miller, 89, died peacefully at his home in Riverside, CA on November 2nd 2021. The Service will be held Monday, November 22nd in the Chapel at The Grove Community Church in Riverside, CA at 11am. Richard was born February 6, 1932 in Upland, CA to Richard and Louise Miller. He wed Karen Jo Bailey in 1951 and together they had four children. He came from a very humble background and began his entrepreneurial career at a very young age- growing and selling corn, working as a gas jockey, and delivering newspapers and other goods. Over the decades he created a business empire throughout Southern California with the help of his family. He was a story teller. He loved sharing his experiences when he was younger of days at the race tracks, traveling the world, trips to the mountains, and everything about antique cars. He would get great joy in sharing his home and cars with others and hosted countless tours at his property. He was involved in many antique car shows and traveled the world with friends and family creating endless memories with his late wife Karen Jo. Richard Miller is survived by his children, Karen Louise (spouse Ron), Janet (spouse Larry), Jim, and JoAnne, nine grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren, as well as his sweet lady Donna Hockett. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Victoria Avenue Forever- PO Box 4152, Riverside, CA 92514.

He was my uncle and had a great personality. I interviewed him with a video camera many years ago. He was utterly perfect!
