Robert J. Miller, 88, of Goshen, Ind., died Jan. 4, 2013. He was born Oct. 8, 1924, to Lee B. Miller and Priscilla (Oswald) Miller in Charm, Ohio.
He married Ellene Long in 1944.
He received his education at Goshen College and Billings Hospital in Indianapolis. He was a research/development latex foam chemist at Uniroyal Corp. in Mishawaka for nearly 40 years, retiring in 1986. He and Ellene moved to Greencroft Center, Goshen, in 2001.
He was a skilled athlete, participating in sports in school, college and on adult recreational teams. He shared his sense of adventure on annual camping trips with his young family and later enjoyed many travels near and far with Ellene.
During World War II he was in charge of an evacuation hospital's surgical unit in the South Pacific. His experiences there convinced him that the brokenness and destruction of war must be prevented by the hard work of peacemaking.
Survivors include his spouse of 68 years, Ellene Long Miller; two sons, Steve and his wife, Becky Iden, of Elkhart and Bruce and his wife, Sue Grubb, of Goshen; a daughter, Beth Kraybill and her husband, Ken, of Seattle; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by four brothers and one sister: Forrest, Ruth, Ralph, Gerald and Edward.
Memorial services were held at Hively Avenue Mennonite Church in Elkhart. Burial was in Prairie Street Cemetery.
