Robert Thomas Miller

Robert Thomas Miller of Oceanside, California, passed away unexpectedly on April 3, 2014. Born July 15, 1948 in Portland Oregon, Bob attended Sunset High School where he excelled in athletics, lettering in baseball, football, and wrestling. Bob then attended Portland State University. After serving in the Air Force from 1967-1971, Bob attended San Diego State University and ultimately earned a Master’s degree in psychology. This degree supported Bob well in his work as a professor of psychology for over 30 years at Palomar College in San Marcos, California. Known for his wicked sense of humor, Bob was beloved by students and faculty. Bob loved fishing, baseball and trying his luck with a hand of poker; but more than anything he loved his wife Stevie.

Bob was predeceased in death by wife Stevie Miller, father Thomas Miller, and sister Susan Brock. He is survived by his mother Barbara Jones of Sublimity, Oregon, sister Kathy Firestein (Chuck), of Scottsdale Arizona, brother Rick Miller (Carolyn) of West Linn, Oregon, and many nieces and nephews.

Bob will be greatly missed, and we will always love him. A graveside memorial service will be held Saturday, April 26 at 10:30 a.m. at Eternal Hills Memorial Park in Oceanside, California. Remembrances may be made to San Diego Humane Society.
