Grew in living near C H prior to moving to Missouri with my family in 1959. Many fond memories of my early years and time spent with C H. He was a great friend to everyone especially the younger kids in the neighborhood. Remember all the cork ball games and other fun we had. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May the Love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ richly bless you in this time of sorrow.

A great man. Glad I got to know Dr. Miller through WRMC and also bible study fellowship
(Mary jane is my mom)
Prayers are with you all.
Jeff Bartlett - Work
We were blessed to have both C H & Carol as our BSF and Sunday School teachers for years. I loved how C H would get emotional when he spoke about Jesus.
He was a real treasure and a true gentle man.
How fitting that he went to be with Jesus while enjoying his passion for fishing.

We immediately bonded with the Millers when they came to Shaw AFB in 1973.After the military time we vacationed often at the Gulf coast. Georgia and Arkansas are geographically apart but we always felt close to the Millers. We last talked during the recent cold weather there.
We loved C.H. -- our boys even remember some of his clever asides. He was such a pleasure to know. Gone but never forgotten.
We love you Carol .

C.H. was a revered leader, teacher and Elder for our congregation. He will be missed by all of us and remembered fondly for the love he had for his family, his intellect and sense of humor, as well as his great appreciation for music.

My first memory of Dr. Miller was of him singing “Turn Your Radio On” while performing surgery at UAMS. He was a resident surgeon. I was a student nurse. My condolences to his family and dear friends as they “Do not mourn as those who have no hope.” Excerpt from I Thessalonians 4:13.
Joan McDonald - Professional
Dr Miller always had a smile and warm greeting. He treated my wife and son and had a very good bedside manner. We were glad to see him enjoying his retirement. He will be missed by all who knew him and we wish special condolences to Carol and the rest of his family.
Greg Reed - Friend
Dr. Miller will certainly be missed. Glad to know we were like minded in our Spiritual Journey. He in 1975 as I was exiting the USAF said Seavy I wish the best for you and want you to know you are sharp and can be anything you want. I was his Personal Medic having run his clinic and Minor Surgery Suite.. Dr. Miller encouraged me to always strive to be better. I moved on becoming an Air Force Officer myself and flew over 2500 hours serving my country. I married a Doctor, go figure and post military retirement ran her Medical Practice. I want to express my heart felt condolences toward all those who knew and loved him especially his immediate Family, Seavy Barefoot Captain USAF

I have the privilege of working with Dr Miller as a 21 year old RN at WRMC in 1980-83. He was well loved and one of the most caring and well respected doctors I have ever known. He stood up for me as a nurse to hospital administration when someone just did not like my assertiveness and ability. I never forgot that. He inspired me to continue my education and I went to complete my medical degree and become a nephrologist. I will never forget Dr Miller and how he stood for honesty, hard work and always with a smile and joy for life. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing but I will always remember those days and how much we all loved Dr Miller
