  He is also survived by his buddy, "Huck," who was always waiting by the front door for
  him to fix the fire, feed the cows, and go for a ride. Bobby started working on his
  family farm when he was only 6 years old. He was a 1971 graduate of Berlin
  Brothersvalley  High School. He joined the Navy at the age of 17 and attended boot camp
  in Illinois and "A" and "C" school in New Jersey. His homeport was in Norfolk, Va., but
  most of his time was spent on the USS America aircraft carrier. He was in the Gulf of
  Tonkin, Vietnam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, France, Greece, England
  and Turkey. He received numerous medals and a citation during his cruises of duty.
  After  his discharge, he returned to Fairhope and took over  the family farm. He was a
  dairy farmer until 1991 when he started working for the Berlin Brothersvalley  School
  District. He continued working on his farm and at the school, averaging 70 hours a week.
  Member of the New Baltimore Sportsmen's Club and a lifetime member of the VFW. Bobby
  founded the Panther Run Hunting Club. He enjoyed spending time with his wife, children,
  grandchildren, friends, and dog. He loved hunting wild game, Morel mushrooms, drinking
  a cold Miller High Life, and was a die-hard Steelers fan.  He also enjoyed preparing
  the school's athletic fields  for sporting events. A lifetime dream of his came true when
  he drove across the country to Alaska with his youngest son. There will be no funeral
  service.  The family will receive friends from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Deaner Funeral
  Home, Berlin. A "Celebration  of Life" party will be held at his hunting cabin on  July
  3, which would have been his 55th birthday. The family is encouraging all who knew him
  to please come and celebrate with them. Bobby loved life and lived it to the fullest.
  Remember him with smiles and laughter. His family has established the "Bobby Miller
  Athletic Scholarship" fund with the Berlin Brothersvalley School District. Donations
  may be sent to the school in care of Greg Beals.
