Ross Livingston Miller ’46

Ross Miller, known to us as Bud, died July 9, 1999, at Middlesex Hospital near his home in Madison, Conn., after a brief illness. He graduated from Deerfield in 1942 and came to Princeton that summer. In Feb. 1943 he joined the Air Force, transferring to the Naval Academy, graduating in 1947. Becoming a lieutenant, he served until 1953, sailing on many ships in many seas, including submarine service.

Ross joined Southern New England Telephone in 1954 and retired in 1987 as a v.p. A lifelong hiker, scuba diver, swimmer, tennis player, and skier, he enjoyed sports with his friends and family from the Rockies to the Alps and from the Caribbean to the Red Sea. He married Maurine Torell in 1950; they had three children, Ross Jr., Craig, and Lucia. After Maurine's death in 1973, Ross in 1981 married Jane Ann Field, who brought her son, Chris, and daughter, Laurie, into the family. They, five grandchildren, and a brother, Richard A., survive. The class extends its deep sympathy to them all.
