James Howard Miller Sr.

March 1, 1945 - January 24, 2022

James Howard Miller, Sr. of Lindale, Texas, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, January 24, 2022. Howard was born in Chillicothe, Missouri, on March 1, 1945, graduated from Chillicothe High School in 1963, and attended Pittsburgh State University in Kansas, receiving a degree in 1967. He had the distinction of only working for one company in his entire career, Lennox Industries, retiring after a dedicated career of Technical Illustrator after 46 years. He moved to Hideaway in 2013 and began his retirement dedicated to mastering the games of golf and pickle ball. Many referred to him as “Mr Pickle Ball" and he served on the Amenities Committee for the Hide-A-Way Club helping to grow the many activities everyone enjoys in Hideaway. Always the Eagle Scout, he loved helping the community where he lived including as a volunteer fireman, city council member, and poll volunteer in Iowa. Howard served with the Hideaway Lake Community Church helping as one of the 'Men of Action.' Despite all his countless hours of community service, his greatest legacy of all is his role as father and grandfather. He loved spending time with his kids and grandkids. He enjoyed playing golf with his brother Don, and dancing with his beautiful bride, Linda. He was a very special man, a jokester and made everyone around him laugh. Even on the darkest of days, he could always put a smile on your face. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Linda, his brother Don and wife Martha Miller; children Linette Fibiger of Hide-A-Way Texas; James Miller and Keti Abazi of Dallas Texas; Jason and Jan Miller of Rockwall Texas; Peter Fibiger of South Fork Colorado; Jeremy and Veronica Miller of Parrish Florida; and Joshua and Maria Miller of Mansfield Texas; and his grandchildren Jacey and James Lowell, Thomas Fibiger, Katie Ann Miller, Madison Miller, Jonathan Miller, Shelby Miller, Davis Miller, Jack Miller and Reagan Miller.
