Glenn A. Miller, 74, of Big Shanty Road, Lewis Run, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, April 9, 2015, surrounded by his loving family following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born May 25, 1940 in Mount Alton, he was the son of the late Arthur G. and Annabelle Taylor Miller. On December 31, 1966, in Limestone, he married Helen L. Weaver, who survives.

In 1985 he began working at Kendall Refinery, which later became American Refining Group, retiring in 2006. Prior to that, he worked in the local oil fields and the wood industry.
Glenn loved nature and enjoyed being outdoors. He also enjoyed working in his garage, his tractors, and relaxing on his back porch with his family.
