Ray Miller, Jr. Obituary
Born in Barry Township, Pennsylvania, Ray's life was one of quiet dedication, deep curiosity, and creativity. He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Dorothy Miller, their three amazing children, four treasured grandchildren, and his dear sister, JoAnne Morris.
A devoted and responsible father, Ray worked various jobs over the years to provide for his family. He started in the financial services industry and served as Branch Manager at United California Bank. Later, he built a successful and respected business in financial memorabilia. His passion for scripophily, led him to exhibit at the International Paper Money Show. He was also honored with a Literary Award for his writing on the Debt Funding of Montana Territory, published in Paper Money, a testament to his skill in research and his dedication to uncovering and preserving provenance in historical documents and items.
Ray also served his country with pride in the United States Air Force as a member of the 66th Airbase Wing. The 66th provided tactical reconnaissance coverage for United States Air Forces Europe and NATO from bases in Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Outside of his work and service, Ray was a man of many talents. He was a skilled artist and singer, with a deep appreciation of nature. His intelligence and unique humor will be missed by those who knew and loved him. A private memorial will be held by the family.

Dad, you are in Heaven now; a much better place, worshipping Jesus Christ forever. Your sins are made white as snow and you are absolved of all sin. We will of course disperse your ashes on the American River and have a wonderful celebration of life on your birthday, August 3rd. Your loving son, Jim
