Earl P. Miller, age 74, passed away unexpectedly and entered into eternal life on Thursday, September 13, 2018. He was born in Oshkosh, on September 28, 1943, the son of the late Paul and Ruth (Schoonover) Miller. On July 17, 1976 he married Colleen Nelson in St. Paul Park, MN.

He was a lifelong member of Grace Lutheran Church, served in the Omro Athletic Association, and was an active member of American Legion Post #234. Earl loved his family and friends fiercely.
