What a great life! Mr. Miller as I knew him. He was industrious,  non-stop production at Norfolk Christian Schools. That is how I remember Mr. Miller. Very industrious and not a lot of talk. I had the great honor of knowing him, his wife and especially his son and daughter Jim and Becky.  Jim was the valedictorian in my class ( as well as the star athlete in a class of athletes) and Becky was the beautiful cheerleader for NCHS and cowgirl at the Triple R Ranch.Mr. Miller made personal sacrifices for his family and Norfolk Christian Schools at a critical time in the development of that organization. He and his wife were so dedicated to Norfolk Christian Schools and their children. In recent years I have marvelled at Mr. Miller's positive and lively spirit and his obvious love for his children. He remained industrious and positive until the end. His was a life well- lived and appreciated . What a blessing Bill Miller has been to his family but also to many former young people like me who saw a non-verbal testimony of love to Christ, his family and all those around him.

I remember Mr. Miller in the maintenance facilities of NCH way back when.  Blessings on Jim and Becky with the loss of their father.

 Bill gave much of his work ethic to Norfolk
Christian Schools and Tabernacle Church. He was always willing to help and had a good word each time I spoke with him. 
 i had the honor to teach both Jim and Becky who represented NCS in athletics. Bill was part of the ''Greatest Generation'  and will be missed.      Well done good and faithful servant of the Lord.     Jim  Hinshaw

Bill has always been a mentor to me and a hard worker . Whenever we talked I always found myself saying  Bill I'm going to be just like you when I get older . I remember building a bedroom on the second floor for Bill and his wife Ellen , it was for Becky to live with them , anyway one night as my crew and I was leaving for the day , Ellen came to me and told me  Don't let Bill go up on the roof . I arrived the next morning at 7am. and guess who I saw on the roof removing the tipolo , but he was only 94 yr. then. He liked staying busy ,like I do.

Sorry for your loss.  May the God of all comfort be with you and your family at this difficult time.
