1960 with a BS degree in Business Administration from the University of 
Alabama and remained an active alumni and proud BAMA fan throughout his life.

favorite team when his grandson, Matt, became an LSU Tiger. On his last 
wakeful night, he proudly watched his Crimson Tide win the National 
Championship once again. Ruben, fondly known as "Big Dan" to those who had the 
pleasure of knowing him, worked as a District Manager for General Motors, 
Buick Motor Division, for 36 years before retiring in Monroe. After 
retirement, he became a beloved and familiar face at Alliance One Advertising, 
sharing stories with the gang and visiting with his favorite sales reps. Mr. 
Miles is survived by his wife of 49 years, Glenda Jeraldine (Jerri) Miles; 
daughter, Brenda Miles Tarver and husband Cleve of Monroe; son, Jack B. Miles 
of Fairbanks, Alaska; and grandchildren, Matthew Branch, Jacob Branch and 
Kaitlin Tarver. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ruben Clarence Miles 
and Margaret Elizabeth Caller Miles; sister, Vera Jean Miles Stalcup and 
husband Curtis Stalcup. Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. 
Monday, January 11th at Mulhearn Funeral Home on Old Sterlington Rd. in 
Monroe. A special Memorial Service will then be held on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. 
at his hometown family church - Hueytown First Methodist. A family graveside 
service will follow at Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham, AL. In lieu of flowers, 
donations may be made in honor of Dan Miles to the American Cancer Society, 
The University of Alabama "Our Students, Our Future" campaign, or to the 
charity of the giver's choice.
