Clifford G. Miller Jr.
Clifford Gordon Miller, Jr passed away January 29, 2024 at the age of 81. Cliff went to several grade schools in his youth until our parents got settled in the Havelock area. Cliff went to Lincoln Northeast High School and was one of the few who went all 6 years for both junior and senior high school. Cliff loved his horse races (excellent handicapper), his music especially jazz, stereo equipment, photography, Huskers football and Havelock. He lived in Havelock his whole life and had many childhood friends and knew everything there was to know about Havelock. He had many interesting stories about his days in Havelock. Cliff enlisted in the Army after school and served our country for 3 1/2 yrs mostly in Germany. During that time he had many details that earned him the Good Conduct Medal with a letter sent to our parents from his commanding officer telling them how proud his was having Cliff serve under his command. He then worked for the State/Department of Roads as a surveyor until he got on the railroad Burlington Northern which he worked 35 yrs until retirement (which I found a bunch pins in his closet showing his good work ethic). He was a great bowler like his father which he was a member of the 700 club and bowled a high score of 298 with 11 strikes in a row. He was an expert on jazz and had all the albums which he would listen for hours on his stereo equipment. He was an excellent statistician which he kept track of all the football games, horse races, lottery number etc. Cliff had a fantastic memory all in tact until he passed. He remembered everything from his whole life. Being with him and caring for him for the last 7 months, he told me many stories of his life. I learned a lot of my brother in the time with him as he kept his life mostly to himself as he was a very private person. Cliff didn’t want any “hoopla” after his passing so to honor him we decided that I would write an obituary and post it on Facebook and here, hoping it reaches the people that cared and knew him. He was a gentle soul, a kind man with good heart for anyone, never judged anyone and generous to anyone in need. He was a loner…to quote Cliff “I like flying under the radar” and lived his life that way. He didn’t need much to be happy and content just enjoying what he loved in life and living modestly. If you met Cliff you liked him, he was just that kind of guy. We want to the thank the the hospice team from Tranditions for all their help and guidance through this transition with Cliff’s cancer. They were wonderful and they loved Cliff and he loved them back as he developed a special friendship with all the wonderful ladies that attended to him but especially with his main nurse Barb and his aide Lane. He is survived by his sisters, Cathy Miller and Candy Rees, cousin Debby Barnes and cousin Lynn Miller. Nephew Corey Skaggs, wife Julie and their son Mason. Grand nephew Robert Skaggs,Jr, grand Neices Sofie, Alexa and Ava Skaggs, their mother Jenny. His niece Holly Salzman, nephew Casey Bryan. He is preceded in death of his parents Babe and Zetta Miller and nephew Robert Skaggs Jr. To leave a condolence please use the form below.
