Charles Edgar "Charlie" Miller passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, September 15, 2018.
Many friends and family members were able to visit and share stories with him to comfort him during his final days. He is reunited in heaven with his wife, Marjorie Bullington Miller, his departed parents, and six siblings.
Charlie was born in Canton, N.C. on November 6, 1925. He was the eldest of 10 children. He served in the U.S. Navy as a signalman during World War II.

The couple moved to Midland, TX where they raised five children. Then, after several transfers with his job at Drilco, he finally brought the family to Spring, TX. He worked at Drilco in various positions, and later as a consultant for several years.
