Herbert E. Miller Jr.

With his travels complete, and his life goals accomplished, after a brief illness and surrounded by his family, Herb passed on to his eternal rest on Saturday June 9, 2018. He was born on March 16, 1929 at Hope Cottage hospital in Swampscott, Mass. to Herbert E. Miller and Mabel Bartlett Miller. He grew up in the city of Lynn, Mass. And attended Lynn English high school. Upon graduation he enlisted in the United States Air Force and was part of the Office of Special Investigations. His duty stations varied from Pease AFB in Portsmouth all the way to being assigned to the Pentagon during his active duty. Upon his completion of active duty, he began his employment with New England Telephone, following in his father's footsteps and worked as a lineman. This career lasted for over 30 years, and it was here where he met Marjorie L. Baker who would eventually become his wife of over 40 years. He enjoyed spending his weekends touring yard sales, and was a regular at the Salvation Army as well as any thrift shop he happened upon. On many a summer day he could be found sitting in his front yard taking in the view and waving at anyone who would pass by. He was a member of Jordan Masonic Lodge in Peabody, Mass., and the Telephone Pioneers. He is predeceased by his mother and father, his wife, and several first cousins. He is survived by his sister Geraldine Gillis of Peabody, MA. his daughter Edythe Bartlett Miller of Alton, his son Herbert E. Miller III, his grandson Jonathan E. Miller, his great grandson Austen E. Miller all of Bozrah CT, his niece and several nephews. He was a very long time resident of Alton, NH., and an extraordinarily kind and thoughtful man who touched so many lives. A Masonic service followed by a Celebration of Life party will be held at the Winnipesaukee Lodge in Alton, NH. On Saturday June 23 at 11:00 am, and all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations in his name can be made to the Cocheco Valley Humane Society in Dover, NH.
