MILLER, Dean B.

The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona February 20, 2003 Dean B. Miller, 80, of Mesa AZ, passed away February 13, 2003 at his home with his family at his side. A former resident of Los Angeles, CA., he was born May 2 1922 to his parents James L. and Mabel Miller. He was preceded in death by his wife Charlotte, and brother, Ward T. Miller. His son; Glenn, daughters, Stephanie Andrizzi and Nancy Miller survive him. Grandchildren Morgan, Stephen, & Mallory Andrizzi, Jeremy Herrick, Jennifer, Megan, Kayleen & Mathis Miller also survive him. He served his country in World War II in the U.S. Army Air Corp and continued his career in aviation for 35 years. He retired from Garrett Air Research in 1984 logging over 3,7000,000 miles of flight safely. He was a master mechanic and could fix anything. If you loaned anything to Dean it came back in better shape than he had received it. He moved to Arizona in 1995 to be closer to his son and family. He enjoyed many fishing trips, target shooting and quad riding in the great Southwest, Alaska, and Canada until the time of his death. We will all miss his simple humor and dedication to all. There will be a Memorial Service Saturday February 22, 2003 6:00 p.m. at Mariposa Gardens Memorial Park Chapel 400 S. Power Rd. Mesa, AZ. The family prefers donations be made to Hospice Family Care 1550 S. Alma School Rd. Mesa, AZ 85210. Courtesy of Pat Wilson.
