Lindley Garrison Miller ’43

Body

Lin died Mar. 16, 2002, following a short illness. He was 81.

A native of Glen Cove, N.Y., he graduated and entered the Army Air Corps. Trained as a flight engineer, Lin served aboard B-24 bombers on 35 sorties and 53 missions, from Italy to Yugoslavia. He earned a DFC with three clusters.

Following WWII Lin attended the U. of Virginia Law School. He held many prestigious legal positions, including assistant general counsel at New Jersey Zinc Corp.

Eventually he founded his own legal and financial management firm, Miller, Davidson, Inc. in Locust Valley, N.Y., from which he retired a short time before his death. Lin was elected village justice of Upper Brookville in 1958 and served in that post until 2001.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia; daughters Barbara Miller, Alexandra Cooper, Patricia R. Miller, and Carley Sullivan; son L. Garrison Jr.; and five grandchildren. To all of Lin's survivors, we offer our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
