John H. Miller Jr. ’65

John H. Miller Jr. ’65 died on September 28, 2022, in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. He came to Dartmouth from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was a government major and a member of Tabard. Jack graduated in 1969 from Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and joined the legal department of Armstrong World Industries in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he quickly rose to the position of associate general counsel, legal administration. He continued his legal career as a partner in the law firm of Kegel, Chesters, Lapp & Miller, which later merged with McNees, Wallace & Nurick. Scouting and playing baseball were important parts of his youth. He also loved dancing to rock and roll music; learning about, collecting, and sharing wine with friends; traveling for business and pleasure; and exploring restaurants at each destination. Spending many happy hours in his gardens, he filled them with annuals, perennials, native plants, grasses, and herbs. His greatest joy was growing roses. Some of his roses are now living in the rose garden at Hospice & Community Care in Mount Joy, where he spent his last few hours. Jack had a lifelong love of learning and when interested in a topic would read everything he could find about the subject. Then something else would catch his interest and he would dive into that topic. Jack is survived by his wife, Michele, daughter Sarah and husband Joel, and two grandsons.
