Roger Lee Miller, 78, a resident of Hambleton, W.Va., departed this life Friday evening at Autumn Lake Healthcare at Crystal Springs, Elkins, W.Va. Death was unexpected. He was born in Altoona, a son of the late Roger W. Miller and Shirley McKee Miller.

He was twice married: first to Rebecca Dean of Altoona; and second, on Sept. 8, 1979, in Altoona, to Kathleen L. Wilson Miller, who survives in Hambleton, W.Va.

He was a 1965 graduate of Altoona High School.

Roger was a veteran of the United States Air Force, having served in Vietnam and Korea as a heavy equipment operator.

After his time in the military, he was an Apple computer representative, selling to several school districts. He attended Vo Tech School for computers and later obtained his bachelor’s degree at Mount Aloysius College.

Roger was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed bicycling, backpacking, hiking and fishing and studied several types of martial arts.
