Raymond Miller ’48

Ray died in Murietta, Calif., July 27, 2013, of complications from Parkinson’s disease. He was 86.

Ray was born in Kansas City, Mo. At Princeton he was in the V-12 program and a member of Prospect Club, Glee Club, and choir. He graduated in 1947.

Ray and the late Dorothy (née Green) were married in July 1949. After his active Navy duty in the Pacific, the Millers settled in Long Beach, Calif., where he became a life- and health-insurance broker. After 1972 he was a partner in his own agency. Ray was an ardent and knowledgeable jazz fan, jazz dancer, and oenophile. The Millers attended many jazz festivals. They visited French vineyards at least a dozen times, as well as, twice yearly, California’s Napa-Sonoma wine country.

Ray’s survivors include two brothers, Kenneth and Donald, and their spouses; and several nieces and nephews.
