  Ernest E. Miller 
   
  LONGMONT, CO Ernest E. Miller died October 31, 2010, at Longmont United 
  Hospital. Ernie was born September 4, 1919, in Lancaster. He married Magdalena 
  Landis on June 3, 1938 who predeceased him on August 14, 2004. He was also 
  predeceased by his parents, Christian and Lina Miller; brothers, Lew Miller and 
  Emerson Miller; sister, Pearl Stryker; granddaughter, Carol Jo Hayes; and 
  grandson, John Jordan. He is survived by his six children, Robert (Bobby) 
  Miller of Littleton, Colo., Arnold (Fay) Miller of Myerstown, Christian (Janet) 
  Miller of Arvada, Colo., Dan (Cathy) Hayes of Greeneville, Tenn., Carroll Joy 
  (Orrin) Applen of Longmont, Colo., and Carolyn Champagne of Picayune, Miss. He 
  is also survived by numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-
  grandchildren who he prayed for daily. On January 31, 1944, Ernie enlisted in 
  the United States Army Air Corps (later U.S.A.F.) and served in various 
  assignments, mostly specialized training as an airborne radio operator and was 
  assigned to the 5th Air Rescue Wing with orders to the Pacific Theatre when the 
  war ended. On Dec 17, 1945, Ernie was flying in a B-17 Flying Fortress training 
  mission with twelve other crewmen when the plane crashed with only five 
  survivors. He pulled two of the men to safety and was later awarded the 
  Soldier's Medal. In 1955, Ernest was appointed Chief Warrant Officer, U.S.A.F. 
  From 1962-1963, he served in Vietnam and while there, Ernest accepted the Lord 
  Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He retired from the U.S.A.F. in 1968 and 
  began a new career as broker manager of Ernest Miller Realty and Insurance and 
  also served as the acting president of The Gideons International of Colo. From 
  1977-1978, Ernest served as Executive Director of Christian Military 
  Fellowship. Ernie and Maggie became a ministry team as they traveled to 
  military installations all over the world to promote the idea of CMF, 
  organizing local chapters. Ernest spent his final days at The Regent of 
  Longmont where he held a Bible study until he was ninety. He was a blessing to 
  all he knew him. It was Ernie's wish that contributions may be made to The 
  Gideons International and to Christian Military Fellowship. Internment was at 
  Fort Logan Cemetery at 9:15, Thursday, November 4, 2010, followed by Memorial 
  services at Calvary Church of Longmont at 11 a.m. The family wishes to thank 
  Longmont United Hospital nurses and doctors for their compassionate care of our 
  father and a special thanks to Stephanie who gave such good care as a Senior 
  Helper during Dad's last month.
