Richard Cledith Miller, of Berwick and late of York, devoted husband and beloved father, passed away at age 82 in the York Hospital on Nov. 24, 2014.
Richard was born Feb. 26, 1932, to Sarah (Roberts) Miller and Harlan Miller. Richard was raised in the Berwick area and graduated from Berwick High School n 1950. Shortly after, he joined the United States Air Force, where he faithfully served for 29-½ years, attaining the highest non-commissioned officer rank of Chief Master Sergeant. Richard and his family lived all over the United States and beyond during his years of service, with tours in Louisiana, Oregon, Hawaii, Washington, D.C., Okinawa, and finally in Philadelphia. Most of Richard's military career was devoted to providing troops with the finest possible food services. Dining Halls under his command were many-time winners of the Hennessy Trophy, which is an annual award presented to Air Force installations with the best food-service programs. After his retirement from the Air Force in 1979, Richard continued his public service as a federal employee for 16 years with the General Services Administration in Baltimore, Md. He retired from federal service in 1996.
Richard was deeply committed to the Little League organization throughout his life, having coached his own son and umpired in his earlier years. After his retirement, Richard's involvement and commitment to the Little League organization deepened as he went on to serve as the Maryland District 4 Administrator, where he headed both the district and state Little League operations.
Missing his home state of Pennsylvania, Richard relocated to York in 2007. Richard went by the nickname of Dick and was much loved by his family and the many communities in which he lived throughout his life. Dick Miller will be greatly missed.
Richard is survived by his wife of 58 years, Esther Jane Miller; his brother, Jay Miller, of Sacramento, Calif.; his children: Linda Wolf and her husband, David Wolf, of York; Susan Garber and her husband, Nelson Garber, of Towson, Md.; Randolph Miller and his wife, Barbara Miller, of Phoenix, Ariz.; and Christine Monkhouse and her husband, Samuel Monkhouse, of Hanover; his four grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and a multitude of nieces and nephews.
Richard's funeral is 11 a.m. Saturday at the Kelchner-McMichael-Baker Funeral Home, 119-121 E. Third St., Berwick. Friends may call at the funeral home from 9 a.m. until time of the service. Burial will follow at Summerhill Cemetery.
