Dr Miner had a larger than life personality. He was tremendously engaging and always jovial, sincere and gracious. I appreciated his reflections on his Cardiology career and believe that he impacted many lives. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Uncle Bob's passing. I enjoyed seeing him and Toni on their cruise visits to Fort Lauderdale some years ago. May he rest in peace.

I knew of Dr. Miner through one of his former employees, my late friend and neighbor, Mary B. Field. He gracefully allowed her to vacation with me at Yosemite's Hi Country.

We remember Dr Miner well... My Grandmother was a patient of Dr Miner's and lived to be 100 years old. Prior to this Dr Miner said if our grandmother Julia Olson lived to be 100.. He would send a birthday cake for her 100th year old party. He did. This so touched our family. He blessed using a very special way.
May God Bless and keep your family.
