Harold Miller

He was born in Howard City, MI on January 3, 1938 to Howard Miller and Mable Yeagle. He graduated cum laude from Fremont High School in 1957. He graduated with Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education degrees from Western Michigan in 1962. He married Nancy in 1962. Harold had a 25-year teaching career in both Coloma, MI and Shelby Middle School, where he also coached track and was the athletic director. He created the first computer lab at SMS and taught it passionately. He also started the SMS Ski Club and hauled a busload of kids to Crystal Mtn. every Friday night. Mr. Miller was loved by his students and athletes. He retired in 1995, spending the next seven years managing the networks for Frankfort Community School’s IT department. His business interests, with Nancy, also included owning Miller’s Motel and Restaurant, preparing taxes, and operating as “the Computer Doctor of Oceana County,” helping countless local people. Dad also loved umpiring and spent summers traveling to games around the county. He had quite an animated way of calling a player “OUT!” He sure loved his community and many friends!
