I was delighted to have the opportunity to know George and become his friend. We had great conversations. He was a respected presence at Mt. Holly Quaker Meeting, and yes George, we still have the china and your documentation of the graffiti on the benches. Until we meet again, Bill Robbins

It has been years since we got together to visit Uncle George, but I will always remember my childhood trip to visit you in Maryland. Rest in peace. 🙏

Uncle George was my mom (Lynn's) older brother. I have fond memories of visiting him in my childhood and some fun photos of Uncle George holding me when I was a toddler and I was terrified of his beard, which was evident by the look on my face! 😊 Sending my deepest condolences to George's wife Amy, my mom, Lynn, and other family members. He will be missed! ❤️

George Miller was my big, protective, older brother through our younger growing years. Back then, children played outside every summer day and I always tagged along with our active neighborhood gang. In the late 1940s we watched all the cowboy shows on TV, and laughed loudly at Laurel and Hardy and The Little Rascals. In our teens, serious George became an excellent chess player and began his coin collection. Our family has always been very proud of his archaeological contributions. I am deeply grateful to his dear wife Amy for the loving care she provided during George's last years.

George and I shared the Scholars' Residence at Winterthur for two months many years ago. He wore the rattiest old bathrobe I think I've ever seen...Amy will appreciate that since he probably still had it! George and I spent many hours sitting at the kitchen table and he taught me to play "Threes," a Solitaire game that I still play every day of my life. I learned a great deal about ceramics just from proximity. When Amy came into George's life (a wonderful thing, indeed), I gained another friend who I will cherish, always.

George and I were friends, we lived in the same subdivision went to Clarkston High. We went down different paths he was into coin collecting, I was into Cars. George carried a brief case to school, was on the Debate team Etc. class mates would make fun of him which would end up in after school fights but after George beat them they didn’t bother him any more. He went to College in Detroit. My wife and i went to visit him, he took us to the Art Museum. When George made trouble , his mother would take away his coin collection but she didn’t know he had the the bulk of the collection hid away. His Grandfather Senator Higgins didn’t like his beard but you can see from his picture the beard stayed. George had the use of an old jeep of his Grandfathers. George invited me to go off-roading and we came to some railroad tracks that George had been down before . We came to a spot that had a very steep bank that we had to straddle. It wasn’t long and we heard a train whistle and there was a steep bank and a pond so we couldn’t get off the tracks. We were frantic and about that time a group of 20 young men were hi king and helped us get the jeep off the tracks. George was an Archaeologist and love it. A few memories from Al Storm

I assisted George a few times when he came to the Downs Collection to do research. And I was privileged to work on his donation of his professional papers. George was a good person, and will be missed by all who loved and liked him. My condolences to Amy and to the rest of his family.

Dear Amy, It is with sadness that I learned from Susie Moffat that George had passed. I knew George from grad school at WSU and adored him as a friend and mentor. I attended your wedding and was delighted to keep up with your activities through David Moffat. I suspect the Gordie Grosscup Museum at WSU would be delighted to house finds that George collected. With condolences for your loss and gratitude for the opportunity of knowing George, Warmest regards, Julie (Flowerday)
