Virgil A. Miller

April 28, 1922 — June 3, 2018

Virgil A. Miller passed away Sunday, June 3, 2018 at Alliance Community Care Center at the age of 96. He was born April 28, 1922 to the late John and Lydia (Schmucker) Miller in the same house he lived in all his life. Virgil attended Louisville High School and worked as a smoke jumper in Missoula, Montana for a year in 1945. He returned to Ohio shortly thereafter to continue in the family business, Miller’s Greenhouse and Cider Mill. He owned and operated the business from 1950 to 1977. In 1977 he started a tree farm business in Carrollton which he owned until his retirement in 2004. During Ronald Reagan’s presidency, one of Virgil’s prize Christmas trees was chosen to be sent and displayed at the White House. Virgil loved to watch flowers, vegetables and trees grow. Following his retirement, Virgil enjoyed traveling and visited many countries. He was a member of Beech Mennonite Church, American Legion Post #548 and the Louisville Eagles. Virgil will be deeply missed by his family and friends. He lived a great, long life and taught his family many important things. Virgil knew how to have fun and loved the time he spent with his children and grandchildren.
