Richard Earl Miller

On May 10, 2021, Richard E. Miller passed away peacefully at home at the age of 87.  Born in Iowa, Richard proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy for 20 years, working as a Radioman and as a Technical Controller. This service took him to Guam, Italy, Morocco, Virginia and finally to Maryland.  Richard lived in the Bowie area for a few years before settling in Gambrills in 1977. After retiring from the Navy, he worked as a contractor for NASA for over 10 years, and followed that with another decade as a civilian government employee.  Richard was an avid reader of both books and the local newspaper, and was also a big sports fan, supporting both the Orioles and the Redskins. Most especially, he loved spending time with his grandchildren and attending their sporting events.
