EAST BERNE — Robert Miller loved his family and his faithful companions, golden retreivers Sable and Zeva.

Mr. Miller died at his home on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014. He was 75.

He was born in Albany on Aug. 13, 1939, to the late Ethan and Emma (née Remley) Miller.

Mr. Miller retired from the Guilderland Post Office in 1999. He was a lifelong fan of the Yankees.

He was married to Linda (née Swain) Miller for 56 years, their union ending only with his death.

“In his earlier years, Bob enjoyed hunting, playing softball, bowling, and snowmobiling, but the farm was his main passion,” his family wrote in a tribute.
