Obituary for Charles F. Miller, Jr.
Charles F. Miller, Jr., 94, Gettysburg, PA passed away on Wednesday, July 22, 2020
at Paramount Nursing Home.
He was born May 27, 1926, in Nokesville, VA the son of the late Charles F. and Daisy Diehl Miller, Sr. His wife Gloria Shultz Miller died in 2019.
Mr. Miller was a veteran of the U. S. Air Force. For most of his life, he worked with
his father as Adams County fruit growers, running an orchard operation and also
doing logging in the Adams County area. Charles was an active and longtime
member of Gettysburg Foursquare Church where he had served as Sunday School
Treasurer. He enjoyed hunting in Potter County and once took two snapshots of a hibernating bear inside a cave. (The second photograph was taken closer to the bear to make sure the picture was clear and the flash is reflected in its eyes.) He also loved hunting for mushrooms, which he dried and ate. Nieces and nephews fondly remember riding with him to deliver peaches to upstate New York so that they could keep him awake during the long drive. He enjoyed family and friend gatherings and being a father to his beloved daughter, Sherry.
Charles is survived by a brother, Harold Miller of Hanover, PA, a brother- and sister-in-law, Loring and Jean Shultz of Gettysburg, PA, and several nieces
and nephews. In addition to his parent and wife, Charles was predeceased by a
daughter, Sherry M. Miller, sisters; Mildred Jacoby, Doris Rider, and Marie
Yingling.
