Paul C. Miller, 88, of Port Austin, formerly of Armada, died Wednesday, September 28, 2016 at Courtney Manor in Bad Axe.
Paul was born June 2, 1928 in Detroit to the late Albert and Hazel (Huard) Miller. He graduated from New Baltimore High School in 1946. He married Joyce Butler on June 6, 1953 in Charlevoix.
Paul was employed as a machine builder at Michigan Tool in Detroit and DeVlieg in Roseville before retiring as a machine repairman from General Dynamic in 1988. At that time he moved from having lived in Armada since 1954 to their lakefront home in Lake Township where he loved watching sunsets and working in his gardens, and enjoying hunting, fishing, golf and woodworking. When it got too cold on the Lake he would spend the winter in Zephyr Hills. He was a community minded person in Armada serving for 32 years on the Fire Department, and serving there as treasurer, justice of the peace and Village President. He also found time to be a real estate agent and appraiser and volunteer builder at Bird Creek Golf Course. As busy as he was...he always made time for family and friends.
He is survived by his wife Joyce; sons Robert (Mei) of Hillsdale and Jim (Paula) of Berville; grandchildren Rebecca, Aaron, Matthew, Christine, Jake and Julie; great-granddaughters Giada and Lydia; brother Jack (Brenda) Miller of Saint Clair Shores; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brothers James and Albert and sister Margaret Osmola.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Champagne Funeral Chapel of Caseville is handling his arrangements. Memorials may be made to Armada Fire Department or Hayes United Methodist church.
