Ralph D. Miller

Ralph married Lenee (Leskowitz) Miller on April 24, 1971. They raised a wonderful daughter, Aimee, and lived with her and her husband Mike, a loving son-in-law. They also had a grandson, Cameron, and his wife, Logan.

Ralph graduated from Bellwood-Antis in 1966. He then entered the Marines, serving, fighting and getting injured in Vietnam.

Ralph was employed at Small Tube Products, DelGrosso Foods and at one time on Watts Farm. He was a lifetime member of the Bellwood Excelsior Fire Department. For many years, he was Bellwood’s Santa Claus. He went to parades, school visits and personal home visits. It was a wonderful part of his life and he loved seeing the joy on the children’s faces.

He was an amazing man, loving husband and father, grandfather and person. He will be terribly missed as much as he was loved.
