In Loving Memory of Francis J. Miller, Jr.
January 18, 1941 – May 13, 2024
With profound sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Francis J. Miller, Jr. on May 13, 2024, in Springfield, Pennsylvania. He was 83 years old.
Francis is predeceased by his beloved wife, Elia Miller nee La Grossa. He was the son of the late Francis J. Miller, Sr. and Lena Miller nee Prudente.
Francis will be forever remembered as a devoted father to Francis J. Miller III (Teresa) and Joanna Mazepink nee Miller (Raymond). He was a loving grandfather to Raymond Robinson, Andrea Miller (Lauren Prescott), Gina Miller, Zachary Miller, Elizabeth Miller, and Maria Miller. He was also a beloved brother to Richard T. Miller (Kathleen) and was preceded in death by his brothers, Joseph E. Miller (Carol) and David M. Miller (Jeanette).
He was a proud member of the Springfield American Legion and served in the Coast Guard Reserve. His dedication to his faith was evident through his membership at Saint Kevin Parish. Francis was a proud graduate of West Catholic High School for Boys, Class of 1958.
Professionally, Francis was a highly skilled Lead Pressman, working in multiple print shops throughout his career. He retired from Phototype Color Graphic and served as a dedicated shop steward for the Graphic Communication International Union (GCIU).
He was an avid bowler in the American Legion Bowling League, and when not bowling, could be found cheering on his favorite sports teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Francis’ name to Saint Kevin Parish, 200 W. Sproul Road, Springfield, PA 19064.
Francis’ humor and love will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace, forever in our hearts.
