Richard was united in marriage to Lynette Johnson on December 16, 1961 at Vernes Lutheran Church in Hill River Township. After their marriage, they lived in Fosston and he worked at Fairway Foods until moving to the cities.
Richard has worked many jobs, but the longest was as a Plant Manager at Control Data in the cities; and evenings were spent working for Witte Trucking. Working for Nortech in Bemidji brought him back north, where he also farmed. After he retired, he worked for Ordean Sundrud at the Dehydration Plant in Trail and Fosston. He also spent time working at the Fosston Radio Station.
What he enjoyed most was farming north of Fosston on his family farm. He retired and moved to Fosston, into the house that his grandfather, Oscar Miller, had built.
Survivors include his loving wife of 61 years, Lynette,; four children, Tammy Carlson, Nancy (Jeff) Stewart=, Allan Miller, and Lori (Cory) Carlson; seven grandchildren, Leah, Kali, and Christopher Carlson, Dakota (Michael) McGrath, David and Shawn Miller, and Ted Carlson; one great grandson, Arthur McGrath; brother-in-law, Nordin Brinkman; sister-in-law, Donna Miller; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and Gladyce Miller; father and mother-in-law, Clyde and Evelyn Johnson; brother, Roger Miller; sister, Barbara Brinkman; brother-in-law, Tom Kipp; son-in-law, Lonny Carlson; and nephew, Steven Brinkman.
