Robert "Bob" T. Miller

Robert (Bob) T. Miller, age 95, resident of River Landing in Wallace, North Carolina passed away peacefully on Monday, October 13, 2025 at Wallace Health and Rehabilitation.

Born March 20, 1930, in Chicago Illinois, son of the late Porter Miller and Anne Burns Miller.  Mr. Miller was also preceded in death by his devoted wife of 53 years, Phyllis S. Growden Miller.

Bob proudly served his country honorably in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict.  Locally a past member of the Wallace Rotary Club and founder of River Landing Men’s Golf Association. Always a participant, in his last year’s one could find him on the 1st tee seeing and sending golfers along their way or just having hot dog at the half way house.

Bob a caring father and grandfather who took great pride in his family. Like his parents an avid golfer who at age six was the youngest member of Beaver Creek Country Club which until his death was an emeritus member. Bob’s golf skills tendered an offer for the first golf scholarship ever given to attend the University of Maryland, which he accepted and became the caption of the golf team.  Over the years he enjoyed introducing and sharing his knowledge of the game he so loved too many. He was a man who loved people and was loved in return. Bob will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Surviving to cherish his memory is his children Robert S. Miller and wife Lori of Maryland, Karen Cruz of South Carolina, Deborah Leftridge and husband Tom of Maryland and Barry Brown and wife Millika of Nevada; grandchildren, Cody Miller, Casey Charlton Nicole Lenora Brown, Christian Knukel, Stephanie Knukel and Matthew Knukel; cousin Joe Burns of Fort Myer, Florida; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends who loved Robert dearly.
