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.
