His wife, Hilda Miller, preceded him in death in 2006.
Roy enjoyed a long life with many memories, many from the 20th century. He enjoyed talking about those memories with family and friends, especially his days growing up and working on the family farm in the Hegins Valley.
Most of his working years were spent operating construction equipment to extract coal during the World War II years and in the construction of dams and interstate highways in Pennsylvania.
After retirement, he enjoyed his family, woodworking, gardening and working around the home.
Roy was a member of the F&AM Valley Lodge No. 797 of Valley View.
Survivors include two children, Gerald Miller and Ann Miller; two grandchildren, Jody Groshek and Nathaniel Casper Miller; three great-grandchildren, Adam Grosheck, Blaine Groshek and Maizy Havens; two sisters, Betty Koppenhaver and Arlene Kimmel, and two sisters-in-law, Helen Miller and Alice Miller.
