From the Detroit News 1/26/2024: "William E. Miller, "Bill," of Buckeye, AZ, formerly of Birmingham, MI, died peacefully in Peoria, AZ with his family at his side on Tuesday, January 23, 2024. He was 80 years old. Bill was born November 19, 1943 in Detroit, Michigan to Louise (nee Sewell) and Woodrow Miller. Upon graduating Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Michigan in 1962, Bill attended Ferris State University in Big Rapids, MI. Bill then joined the United States Air Force in 1963, becoming a Crew Chief, and was a proud Vietnam Veteran throughout his life. While raising his family, Bill worked in the retail car business for over 40 years, in Michigan and Arizona, in both the sales and service departments. Bill loved gardening and landscaping, traveling to Hawaii, going shooting with his son-in-law, Dan, spending time with his family, as well as the excitement of building new houses. He was an avid Phoenix Suns, Arizona Cardinals and Michigan Lions fan and loved to watch a good game and enjoy a home cooked meal with family. Bill will be remembered for being able to see the humor in everything and making his family, friends, and coworkers laugh, as well as having the biggest sweet tooth, his love of family, and his spot-on Elvis impersonation. Bill is survived by many loving family and friends, including Daughters Hollee (Dan) Morrow; and Jacqueline Miller; Son Todd Miller; and Grandchildren, whom he adored: Caleigh, Riann, Tess, and Leigha. He is also survived by his loving Brother and sister-in-law, Daniel and Virginia Miller, and Nephews Brian and Scott, and Niece, Laura; as well as numerous Sewell and Miller cousins who loved "Wild Bill." Bill is also survived by his lifelong best friends, Gordon McMullen and Roger Mason. Bill is preceded in death by his beloved parents, Woodrow and Louise Miller; sister, Lou Ann (Bob) Sperling; niece, Nancy; and his faithful dog, Buddy. Bill requested no services on his behalf. If you wish to honor Bill's military service, please donate to Honor Flight Arizona. If you wish to honor Bill's love of dogs, please donate to the Arizona Humane Society. "Thank you. Thank you very much..." Bill has left the building."

I have fond childhood memories of Bill.  Our families were friends and we hung around together through high school.  I remember Bill as a really good guy with a wonderful sense of humor and keen wit.  Always enjoyed our friendship.  Condolences to the family.  Rest in Peace Bill.
