Paul D. Miller, 71, of Lititz, PA, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 10, 2012, surrounded by his loved ones.  He was the husband of Judith M. Jones Miller, with whom he celebrated 47 years of marriage this past February 13 ^th .  Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of Paul B. Miller of Harleysville and the late Anne M.

During his 37 year teaching career in Warwick School District, Paul taught all grade levels and retired in 2000.  A veteran of the US Air Force, Paul served in the Philippines where he acquired a love of travel that continued through the rest of his life.

Known best for his gentle guidance, quick wit, dry sense of humor, and "favorite teacher" status, Paul loved talking with friends and strangers alike.  Other interests included reading, crossword puzzles, kayaking, losing himself in his watercolors, walking on the beach, and lending a helping hand to neighbors and friends.

In addition to his wife, Judy, he is survived by his children: Todd D., married to Jennifer Miller of Locust Grove, VA, Megan E., married to Benjamin R. Snell of Lancaster, his 4 cherished grandchildren Sean, Lauren, Liam, and Julian, and by his sister, Judith A., married to Alan Stefano of Elverson, PA.

The family would like to thank the staff of 8 Lime at LGH for their exceptional care and friendship.
