He enjoyed Corvettes, sailing, cooking, and woodworking. He appreciated the color yellow and had three yellow corvettes in succession. He enjoyed seeing how fast he could make it from his business in Wyoming to the marina in Holland to ride the rails on his sailboat the Windseeker. He was a great cook. He enjoyed barbecuing and entertaining friends and family. If you were invited to a party at the Millers, he made sure your belly was full and you had a good laugh.
