Robert H. Miller 

June 5, 1919 - March 31, 2005



Robert H. Miller, age 85, passed away on Thursday, March 31, 2005. He was a 
beloved husband, father and grandfather, respected banker and community leader, 
Bob was a native of the San Joaquin Valley. Born in Stockton to Mary Peck and 
Robert Miller, Bob began his long and successful career in banking as bank 
messenger in the 1930's in Stockton. His career was interrupted by World War 
II, in which Bob proudly served aboard ship in the United States Navy. A 
devoted member or Our Lady of Fatima parish, Bob served the church as head 
usher for the 12 o'clock mass continuously for over 40 years. Retiring after 20 
years as President from Center State Bank in the 1980's, Bob's retirement was 
short-lived; he went to work as a consultant for the American Bankers 
Association and has continued in this capacity until his death.
Bob, an avid golfer, was a long-time member of Del Rio Country Club, continuing 
to play the game even into his 80's. Bob was passionate about his family, his 
faith, his work; he loved his cars, his hats, his garden and his home. He took 
pride in his collections of miniature cars, historic memorabilia and developed 
an appreciation of the American wolf, collecting artwork depicting these 
beautiful animals in their natural environment.
Bob is survived by his devoted wife of 44 years, Myrt Miller; his daughters, 
Marcia Reed and Charlene Miller; granddaughters, Kelsey Larsen and Caitlin 
Larsen and son-in-law, Tom Reed.
A rosary in Bob's honor will be held at Franklin & Downs McHenry Chapel, 
Tuesday, April 5, at 6:30 p.m.; a mass will be said Wednesday morning, April 6 
at Our Lady of Fatima at 9:30 a.m. and graveside services will be at Lakewood 
Cemetery following the Mass.
Remembrances can be made to the American Cancer Society, 1604 Ford Ave., Suite 
8, Modesto CA 95350
