My deepest sympathies to "Officer Don Miller's" family. I grew up in St. Louis in the 60s and 70s listening to him on the radio. Great voice, great guy. He will be missed.

Hi Kim and Casey,
This sure wasn't the way I wanted to find you two but leave it to Don to finally get us together ...at least in thoughts. I have so many fond memories of your mom and dad. They were like second parents to me and you guys were like sisters after all the weenends I 'lived' at your place(s) until Bob and I got married. Your mom was always there and when your dad got home he always joined me poolside. lol Casey you were always making waves and splashing with friends while Kim you tended to stay more indoors with Aunt Dorie. Such great fond memories of you girls and your parents. I'm sad to see the last of my father's family leave us here but know that they are now with our Lord enjoying the really good life. Wish we could have all visited one last time but I'm sure we'll have that chance later in heaven.
May the peace of our Lord be with you and your families.

I spent many hours with Don in the air over St. Louis from '86 to '88. He is a source of many great stories and many fond memories. He'll be missed...

Dear Kim and Casey so sorry to hear about your dad. Casey you and I went to St. Paul's together. I always will remember your dad as being the one who took me for my first helicopter ride. He also did the disappearing thumb trick when he came up to the school. Again sorry for your loss.

May God Bless and give strength to The Miller Family. Our Prayers are with you. I moved from St. Louis more than 10 years ago, but still have fond memories of Don Miller and his traffic broadcasts and pointing out the gaperblocks.
Heaven has a master pilot now.
