Daniel H. Miller

Daniel Henry Miller, resident of Shorehaven Retirement Community in Oconomowoc, WI joined his Lord on November 25th, 2016 after a short illness. Dan was born in Milwaukee to Albert T. and Erna E. Miller on December 17, 1934. Dan was an avid musician who started playing clarinet in grade school and continued to perform throughout his long life. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, he played in the concert and marching bands. The notes of his clarinet could be heard wherever he called home including Madison, Wauwatosa, Random Lake, West Bend and the North Woods. While he loved all types of music, he particularly enjoyed performing in his lederhosen with the Bavarians, a local German band in northern Wisconsin. Dan is survived by his wife, Suzanne; children, Sharon Smith (Neal), James, and Laura Curry; stepsons, Peter (Beth) and Charles Chladil (Jennifer); grandkids, Eric, Matthew, Jennifer and Emily; brother, David (Marion); sister-in-law, Marianne and beloved nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Gerald, and son-in-law James Curry. In honor of Dan’s love of music and support of higher education, any donations received will be used for the UW Band Honor of Daniel H. Miller Memorial Clarinet (Rudy Flietner 1848 University Ave, Madison, WI 53726-4090). Services will be held on Wednesday November 30th at Shorehaven Retirement Community, 1305 W Wisconsin Ave, Oconomowoc. Visitation starts at 12 noon, followed by services at 2 PM with reception following the service. A private family interment will be held the following day.
