September 7, 1924 — November 30, 2021

Robert Gregory Miller, 97, of Pauline, SC passed from earthly life to Eternal Life on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at his home. Born September 7, 1924 in Pauline, SC, he was the son of the late Albert Frank and Lois Gregory Miller and was the husband of the late Patricia Godfrey Miller.

In 2013, he was named Deacon Emeritus. He was a member of American Legion Post 28 of Spartanburg and participated in the 2018 Honor Flight to Washington, DC. He was a farmer who practiced the virtue of patience in his tending of the land, in raising his livestock, and in loving his family, neighbors, and friends.
