John Earl Miller; Douglas Alan Moyer.

1933-2017

John (Jack) Earl Miller was born 6/20/33 and went home to be with his LORD on 5/13/17 at Peter Becker Retirement Home. Jack graduated from Schwenksville High School in 1951. After high school, he proudly served his country in the Army Engineers. He began work for Eastern State/Agway and then continued his work at Hatfield Packing and Harleysville SavingsBank, where he retired from employment. He was married to Grace Landis on December 30, 1952 in New York City on “The Bride and Groom” TV program. They were happily married for 64 years. Jack enjoyed reading historical nonfiction, putting jigsaw puzzles together, farming and tending to his steers. He loved his family and enjoyed playing family games.

Jack was preceded in death by his sister, Emma Dotterer, and grandson Jacob John Miller. Jack is survived by his spouse, Grace of Harleysville; his brother, Warren (Dot) of Oregon; his children, LuAnn (Ron Rittenhouse) of Lansdale, Wayne (Bonnie) of Souderton, Ray (Sheila) of Aurora, Nebraska, and Bill (Caroline) of Perkiomenville; his 12 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

He was a member of Calvary Church of Souderton and served faithfully over 45 years as a youth worker – teaching Sunday school class to the youth, ushering and greeting attendees at the church door No. 5.

A celebration service will be at Calvary Church of Souderton, 820 PA-113, Souderton, PA 18964 at 11 A.M. Saturday 5/20/17. The family will be greeting friends and relatives from 9 to 10:45 A.M. at the same location. No viewing will take place the day of the service, because Jack had decided to give his earthly body to Science Care to help others.
