My condolences to George’s family. George was a great mentor and role model.
Great friend at the parish. At mass, he would always stop to say hi.
Sir GEORGE W. MILLER’s Brother Knights in St Louis Council #453, KNIGHTS of COLUMBUS in South St Louis prayerfully mourn the passing of this dedicated Knight, Permanent Deacon and parish and community volunteer! During Sir George’s long pastoral career as a Permanent Deacon and funeral professional, he counseled and consoled numerous people in times of trial and illness, as well as skillfully assisting the Archdiocese as Director of the Permanent Diaconate program as well as in his ministerial responsibilities.
We are having Masses said for his happy repose, as well as remembering him in our annual Knights Purgatorial Mass. (His passing was noted in our recent meeting) May God Grant Sir GEORGE Eternal Rest, prayerful remembrance among his Brother Knights, and consolation to his family at this sad time.
Sincerely in Columbianism,
