C. Richard “Dick” Miller, 93, of Landis Homes Retirement Community, formerly of Mount Joy and Mobile, AL, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Friday January 2, 2015 at Landis Homes. He was the loving husband of Reba C. Miller and they celebrated 71 years of marriage in May 2014. Born in Mt. Joy Twp. he was the son of the late Norman S. and Mary (Longenecker) Miller. “Dick” as he was affectionately known, was a farmer by trade, but his passion was serving the Lord, and by doing so, he was the former pastor of the Marietta Mennonite Church for 30 years. Dick and Reba then moved to Mobile, AL and did volunteer service for 18 ½ years before moving back to Lancaster Co. Dick also enjoyed gardening and sharing their home and hospitality with many different people.
