Obituary - OSCAR MILLER

Oscar Miller of Orlando, passed away on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2015, at his residence. He was 83 years old. Mr. Miller was born to the late Israel and Fannie Lichtman on Nov. 29, 1931, in Bronx, New York. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany.

On Sept. 7, 1957, in New York, he married the former Sheila Posner, his wife of over 57 years who survives him.
