Gerald Stephen Miller

Gerald “Jerry” Miller, 76, died peacefully July 7th after a fierce battle with Alzheimer’s. He was a fighter until the end, his faith never failing him. He and his beloved wife, Jean Hamilton Miller, celebrated their 56-wedding anniversary in October.

After graduation he worked with his father in steel, then on the railroad for many years. He found his passion working in the theater at the Scranton Cultural Center and the NEPA Philharmonic as a member of [IATSE], Local 329 with his wife joining him.

Jerry’s deep lasting faith made him who he was. He loved his Harley, cars, trucks and trains. His favorite place was at the lake where he spent his last days.
