Chris honorably served in the United States Air Force and was a Vietnam veteran.  His expertise in the field of telecommunications led to his career and retirement with American Telephone and Telegraph beginning as a lineman and retiring in management. 

Chris & Evelyn's retirement years were spent enjoying each other's company, traveling, and taking many road trips.  Their favorite camping spot was on the Boulder Mountain.  Chris had many hobbies that included oil painting and wood craftsmanship making many items such as clocks, furniture, cabinets. etc. 
 
Chris was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, sister Anne Johnatakis and brother Kent Miller.  He is survived by his three children, three grandchildren Brennan & McKenzie Miller, Pilar Lopez & brother Ernie (Ginger) Miller.   
 
A memorial service will not be held abiding by Chris's and the family's request.    
 
We love you, Dad.  We know you and mom are having "fun together" once again.
