Robert was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on November 25, 1950, to Samuel Lawrence & Rachel Ollick Miller in the midst of a memorable snow storm. He graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in 1968.

Robert enjoyed tennis, golfing, and could be found at the soccer field for many years as a coach and referee. Longtime supporter of the Crew, the OSU Buckeyes, the Cleveland Browns and Indians. In retirement, Robert took pride in delivering meals to shut-ins for Meals on Wheels. He was also a longtime member of the Gahanna Lions Club. He shared many memorable moments with the "Mulliganders" and the "Usual Suspects". Robert was raised in a Jewish home and he continued to observe those traditions and holidays. He attended Stonybrook United Methodist Church in Gahanna with his family. For many years he looked forward to cooking with the United Methodist Men for their Annual Spaghetti Dinner. Robert is preceded in death by his parents, Samuel Lawrence & Rachel Ollick Miller, and brother Gary Lee Miller. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Diane Cottrill Miller of Gahanna, children Michael, his wife Erin Miller of Pataskala, and Sarah, her husband Daniel Naderer of Fostoria.

Had not seen Robert for many years since we graduated from HHS but I clearly remember him as good person with a kind sense of humor. RIP Robert-your life accomplishments sound absolutely amazing as you knew what was important and lived accordingly. Condolences to your family-a good person has left them but the joyous memories remain forever.

I remember and knew Robert from Boulevard elementary school. He was a friendly personable individual.I was fortunate after many years to reconnect with him just  a few years back on facebook. I always enjoyed his Sunday quips and  take on what the Cleveland Browns management needed to do to make the team victorious. He also had a social consciousness about events occurring in the world or close to home. He exemplified the spirit and ideals of our class of "68"  by giving back, volunteering for Meals on Wheels, coaching Soccer, and participating in various organizations that helped his community. RIP Robert.                                                         Heartfelt condolences to Diane and his family.
