C. Miller Biddle IV ’60 *61

Miller studied the more attractive customs of his pioneer New Jersey and Philadelphia ancestors. He chronicled their emigration to America in 1633, worshipped with their Quaker Society of Friends, and supported both the society’s K-8 school and its Westfield, N.J., retirement community. In later years he maintained the Westfield Friends Cemetery in partnership with his wife, Joan, whom he married in 1995.
Before all that, Miller attended Phillips Andover, where he captained the soccer team and co-captained the winter track team. With us, he carried on both and earned All-Ivy soccer recognition. He majored in biology, won a National Science Foundation award, led Quadrangle’s bicker committee, and joined the Pre-Med Society.
After a year’s post-grad pause, Miller earned a medical degree at Temple University Medical School in 1965, interned at University Medical School in Madison, Wis., and completed a fellowship in endocrinology at Cooper Medical Center in Camden, N.J., in 1969. He then served two years at the Navy Hospital in Pensacola, Fla., before establishing a private practice in endocrinology in Camden, where he practiced for 45 years.
In retirement, Miller and Joan enjoyed traveling, fly fishing, gardening, and golf. Active until his last months, he died at home Oct. 13, 2024. His daughter Elizabeth pre-deceased him and he is survived by Joan; daughter Amy; and grandson Connor.
