He was the devoted husband of Linda Miller for 60 years. He graduated from Weaver High School and loved keeping in touch with his classmates and helping with and going to high

be lifelong friends of his. He was the co-owner of Towne Pharmacy in Glastonbury, CT and worked there for over 30 years, serving the community and providing
access to care for all of his customers. Burt loved his family, his religion, his country, his friends, Uconn basketball, and the Boston Red Sox.

and Steven Miller and his wife Lorena, of Magnolia, DE, his grandchildren Benjamin, Abigail, Jacob, Noah, Cole, and Freddy, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
