Obituary
Richard “Dick” Miller, 78, of Lincoln passed away on
August 29, 2016 at his home.
Richard was born June 15, 1938 in Springfield, the
son of Zearl and Lula (Feese) Miller. He married
Sharon Easterday on March 1, 1956 in Keokuk, IA. She
survives in Lincoln.
Richard is also survived by his children, Debra
(Rick) Heiser, Vicki (Scott) Wahler, and Kelly (Joe)
Elias; one brother, Gerald “Bird” Miller; his
grandchildren, Ryan (Katie) Bunner, Rendi (Mike)
Ray, Jordan Bunner, Kelsy Heiser, Betsy (Jordan)
Holloway, Janel (Nick) Del Frate, Kailee Wahler,
Jared Parrott, Marlea Elias, and Holly Elias; his
great-grandchildren Andrew Bunner, Katelyn Ray,
Kinley Ray, Kobie Bunner, and Avery Del Frate.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Dick was a member of Lincoln Christian Church and he
retired from IDOT.
Dick was an absolute sports buff. Some would even
call him a historian of sports; if someone had a
question about a game or a team they would call
Dick. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. He
enjoyed the Men’s breakfast club at the Alley-Bi. He
was a Lincoln Railer fan and as well as a former
player; in 1956 he played in the very last sweet 16
basketball game that was held at Huff Stadium in
Champaign. |
Above all else, Dick loved his family; he will be
greatly missed by anyone who was fortunate enough to
have known him.
A Celebration of Richard’s life will be held at
2:00p.m. on Saturday September 3, 2016 at The
Knights of Columbus Hall in Lincoln.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The
Congenital Heart Center (420 NE Glen Oak Suite #301
Peoria, IL 61603) in honor of his
great-granddaughter Kinley Ray, who is a recipient
of services.
Arrangements have been entrusted with
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home, Lincoln.
