Roger F. Miller ’49

Body

Roger died Aug. 3, 2002, of cancer. He was 73. Roger prepared for Princeton at Bronxville HS. At Princeton he majored in economics and was a member of Charter Club.

After graduation, Roger did graduate work at Wharton and received his PhD from Berkeley. He then started his working career at the U. of Wisconsin at Madison, where he dedicated himself to teaching both graduate and undergraduate students. He remained there until he retired as a professor of economics in 1995.

Roger indicated in our 50-year book that the main focus of his life was his children and his grandchildren and that he found great happiness in that role. He tried to never be too busy to join with them in their games. He was also an avid Packers fan.

Roger is survived by his wife, Carolyn; sons Greg, Matt, and Tony; stepson David Cary; stepdaughter Ann Kinney; and six grandchildren. The class extends its sincere sympathy to them on their loss.
