"Hello - I'm an old high school friend. I believe Henry wouldn't like a big grief session, as I remember him, so I'll say that I thought of him often over the years and wish we could've had the coffee he said we should do. I contacted him on FB a couple weeks ago, and now this. I'm sorry, but he really did love fun and he really enjoyed laughter. One of a kind. Peace and love to the family and friends. See you again Henry."
In loving memory of
Henry R. Miller
January 1, 1954 - April 7, 2017
Henry R. Miller, 63, of Crivitz, passed away on April 7, 2017 in Green Bay. He was born on January 1, 1954 to Donald and Helen (Korntved) Miller in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. On June 23, 2015, he married his special love, Diane Nikolas. Henry worked at Appleton Coated in Combined Locks as an electrician where he retired in 2014. Some of Henry's enjoyments in life included bluegrass music, festivals, fishing, road trips and adventures, and nature around him-especially his flying squirrels in the backyard. Above all, Henry enjoyed the company of family and friends. He fulfilled a goal of fishing with his sons in Canada, and this summer, he was able to share his love of fishing with his grandsons. Henry had the ability to strike up a conversation with anyone, make a new friend, and bring laughter to the room. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all the people whose lives he touched.
