Alan B. Miller Jr. ’44

Alan Miller died Sept. 2, 1995 in the hospital at Blue Hill, Maine, from complications of lung cancer and emphysema. He was 73. Al came to us from Pingry. At Princeton he majored in psychology, roomed with Warren Knauer and John Accola, and was a member of Triangle and Tower Clubs. He graduated in 1944, but during senior year he worked in market research for Bristol Myers, later joining the company's advertising agency.

During his career in advertising he achieved a national reputation for his grocery-marketing expertise, spending the last 15 years of his active career with SAMI, a subsidiary of Time-Warner, where he was v.p. in marketing. A confessed workaholic, Al nevertheless had time for church involvement, hospital volunteer work, and for fishing which, after his family, was his passion. That same passion attracted him to Maine, where he and B. J. summered until moving there permanently a few years before his illness. It was there that he particularly enjoyed sharing salmon fishing with friends.

Al is survived by Betty Jane, his wife of almost 47 years; three sons, Peter, Christopher, and Douglas; and seven grandchildren. Our deepest sympathy goes to each of them.
