Tom was born Dec. 4, 1944 to John and Clara (Bergs) Miller. He grew up on the family farm. He attended Holy Family School in Poniatowski for 8 years, then graduated from Edgar High School.

He grew up as a neighbor to his future wife Judy Williams. They began double-dating with her sister Dawn and his good friend Don. They later married on Sept. 16, 1967.

Tom drove milk truck for Dvorak’s Cheese Factory while helping out on the family farm. After several years he quit driving milk truck and farmed with his father & brother.

He was the best father a girl could ever want to his three very loved daughters: Kim (Barry) Hakala, Jenni Lemmer, and Leslie Miller. He was treasured Grandpa of Cody Lemmer, Erica (Wyatt) Allan, Marissa (Chris Huebsch) Hakala, Calysta Hakala, Austin and LaKeeya Miller.

He was valued by his neighbors for his kindness and knowledge.

He was known for his kind heart, soft smile and twinkle in his eye.

He is survived by his daughters, son-in-law, and grandchildren. He is further survived by his brother Dennis (Mary) Miller and sister LouAnne (Tony) Lemmer and sisters-in-law: Dawn (Jose) Hernandez, Dorothy (Al) Roerig, Audrey Williams, and Bernie (Jim) Kempf, and numerous nieces and nephews who loved him as much as he loved them.
