Ronald P. Miller, 85, passed away after a long illness on March 23, 2022 under hospice care.
Ron was born on September 24, 1936. Upon graduation from high school, Ron attended the GM Institute and worked as a draftsman for GM, Republic Steel, and various companies. Ron loved Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, fishing, camping, and spending time with his friends and family.
Ron was a dedicated fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Tampa Bay Rays.  A day didn’t go by when Ron wasn’t wearing his favorite cap, a Christmas gift given to him in celebration of the Lightning’s Stanley Cup back-to-back wins.
