Samuel “Sam” Paul Miller

Samuel “Sam” Paul Miller, 79, of Greenfield, passed away Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, at his home surrounded by his family. 

He was born Dec. 21, 1945, in Lynchburg, the son of the late Samuel Marion Miller and Margaret (Oppy) Crooks.

He was a life member of the Greenfield Fraternal Order of Eagles 1325, life member of the Bainbridge American Legion Post 197, and a member of the Greenfield VFW Post 4736. Sam was a truck driver for over 50 years, working for the Bob Brothers, R+L Carriers, Winchester Grain, Candle-Lite, Cox Paving, and Cockrill Concrete.
