Ronnie & the Miller family have been a big part of my family. My nephews Bill & Tom Scaling were on the State basketball team & he was a fellow coach with my husband Clyde. His Aunt Mary Lou, & cousins Karla & Bobby were custodians at the Junior. high and his brothers & their wives. Rest in peace, Ronnie. You have left footprints on so many hearts.
He was the nicest man I ever had the privilege to know. He was like a brother to me. I will miss him dearly. Ronnie had a way of making you see the good in people. He was an amazing carpenter, and even a better cook. I will remember our friendship forever. Rip my brother. You are home now. Love you.
Heaven just got sweeter and it gives me one more reason to make it my home. Big R was a great friend and a wonderful, dedicated educator. Always putting his students first! I intend to see him again. Rie,Matthew, Kelly and all the Miller family are in our prayers.
