South Bend Tribune 6/9/2007
GRANGER - Robert Glenn "Bob" Miller, 73, passed away unexpectedly on June 7 in Elkhart General Hospital. Bob was born March 28, 1934, in South Bend, to Simon Ray and Ida (Kellums) Miller and has lived in Michiana all but five years of his life. He died peacefully with his wife, Wilda, and children at his side. Bob was a 1952 graduate of Jimtown High School and a 1958 graduate of Ball State University.

He was a teacher in the Penn-Harris-Madison School district for 34 years teaching at Madison Jr. High, Penn High School and Prairie vista Elementary. He coached many teams including head coach in baseball and assistant coach in basketball at Penn High School, various teams at Madison Jr. High and many Baugo Little League teams.

Bob married Wilda Tinsley on June 30, 1978. She survives along with five children, Kathleen (Steve) Stout of Jimtown, Kerry (Sharon) Miller of Carmel, IN, Kevin (Janet) Miller of Archbold, OH, and Nathan (Vickie) Miller of New Palestine, IN. In addition to his wife and children, "Grandpa Bob" was adored by 13 grandchildren, Daniele (Erik Milholland), Steve (Tricia) Stout, Brook Stout, Sarah, Paige and Carlee Miller of Jimtown, Libbi Miller of Carmel, Jordan Taylor and Paxson Miller of Archbold, OH, Konnor, Kramer and Lexi Miller of New Palestine; and two great-grandchildren, Mikey Stout and Dyland Milholland. He is also survived by brother, Richard Miller of Galveston, IN, and Martha Chapman of Hemet, CA.

Athletics was a big part of his life and he enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play. He was a big fan of Jimtown and Notre Dame sports. He was an avid golfer, euchre player, hiker, won a state championship in horseshoes and played many baseball and softball games throughout the state. He and Wilda own a small cottage on Cobert Lake her all the grandkids love to come and spend time with their grandparents. However, the biggest day of the year for Bob was Christmas. Shopping started in early fall and didn't stop until the night before, but having his family all there and being able to shower them with gifts made that day his favorite of the year.
