OBITUARY:

William C. “Bill” Miller passed away Friday evening, March 7th, after a short illness. The beloved husband of Carole (Dolham) Miller, he was fifty-six years of age.

Born in Belmont, he was the son of the late Charles and Geraldine E. (Hamilton) Miller. After living in Belmont for a brief time, the Miller family moved to California, and then to Woburn where the family remained. They lived in the West Side and Bill attended Woburn Public Schools and graduated with the Class of 1975.

While working at a plaza in Lexington part time he was introduced to the young lady who worked next door, Carole Dolham. Well, the rest is history. In 1981 they were married and they too made their home in the West Side of the city. Together they brought four children into the world, three daughters and a son. His children were his world. He was completely devoted to each one, having participated in all his children’s academic and sporting events. Be it soccer or hockey, if he wasn’t there as the coach, he was an active parent participator. Summers for the most part were always enjoyed in New Hampshire and different beaches along the shore.

Bill’s profession surrounded engineering. He had worked for Wang Computers, Robotics Engineering, PRI, and Brooks Automation in Chelmsford. He travelled all over the world, his favorite and most frequent visits to Singapore.

Working on his home was always enjoyment for Bill. He kept his lawn meticulously manicured, and always took great pride in its appearance.

Riding his bike, walking Horn Pond, or visiting the beach, Bill lived a very active and full life. He loved his family, and the moniker “Papa” which brought him great joy.

Bill was sadly predeceased by his sister, Marilynne J. Cunha.

He is lovingly survived by his wife, Carole (Dolham) Miller; his children, Lisa J. Miller, Linda N. Miller, William C. “Billy” Miller, III, and Nicole E. Miller, all of Woburn; his sister, Carol A. Engstrom and her husband Eric of NH; and his grandchildren, Cameron, Aundraya, Ryan, and Mackenzie, as well as his loving nephews Wayne and Derek Cunha.
