Larry Miller lived 88 years defined by family, hard work, loyalty, and a belief in doing things the right way. He grew up surrounded by family, including his sister Carol, brother Bob, and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Those relationships and the importance he placed on family stayed with him throughout his life.

Larry proudly served in the United States Army before beginning a career with Foster Wheeler that lasted more than 40 years. His work took him around the world, including significant time in Turkey, Kuwait, Venezuela, and Chile. No matter where he was, Larry approached his work the same way. He worked hard, took responsibility seriously, and expected things to be done correctly. He did not need to talk about work ethic. He lived it.

At the center of Larry's life was his family. He and his wife, Mary, shared 63 years of marriage and built their life around their son, Bobby, and daughter, Lynne, and her husband, Mike. Their family grew to include six grandchildren, Morgan, Michael, Shawn, Patrick, Macy, and Maggie, and Larry took enormous pride in being their grandfather. He showed that love by being there. He loved attending their games and became a Lycoming lacrosse season-ticket holder. He was also a loyal Buffalo Bills, New Jersey Devils, and Philadelphia Phillies fan, but watching his grandchildren always meant more. Larry retired to Lake Norman in North Carolina. He loved hosting, and all were welcome. We all had memorable vacations taking boat rides, tubing, horseshoe tournaments, and the day always ended with a cookout and a game of cards. 

Larry remained close to his extended family, especially his nieces, nephews, Aunt Dorothy, his sister-in-law   Barbara, his brother-in-law Ron, and his "Maine people." In his later years, his family circle also included "Team Larry." Mary, Bobby, and Lynne were joined by Haja, Mohamed, Antoinette, Hawa, and “his dog” Izzy, who cared for Larry and the entire family with patience, dignity, and genuine love. They became far more than caregivers, and the Miller family will always be grateful for them.

Larry's legacy is not difficult to define. He worked for what he had, took care of his family, showed up for the people he loved, and believed in doing things the right way. He was Mary's husband, Bobby and Lynne's father, Mike's father-in-law, a grandfather to six, and a man whose example will remain with his family for generations. That is the life Larry built, and that is how he will be remembered.
