I was saddened to hear about the death of Mr. Miller. I was a student at Cambridge Rural High School and he was without doubt my favorite teacher. He had a gift to make every student feel that they might have been his favorite too. He made math fun and if you didn’t understand one method of solving a problem, he would introduce another method to help arrive at the correct answer. He established a student theater group, giving countless hours of his own time to prepare for Provincial festivals. I remember him as bit quirky in the best of ways and from my experience, a teacher that every parent wishes their child could have. It was to my delight when several years ago I discovered Mr. Miller and his wife Sylvia walking their black Labs past my house on a regular basis. After pointing him out to a neighbor and telling them he was my favorite teacher, they asked if I had ever told him that. No, I had not. Shortly thereafter I ran into him and Sylvia, they seemed to be a pair rarely separated, and introduced myself not knowing if he would remember me or not. After 40+ years he not only remembered me, we had a great conversation that included other former students and staff. Deepest sympathy to the family, remembering your loved one. Suzanne Sypher
