As a young man, Robert Miller was very caring for his family in Clifton Forge,
VA. He often took care of his younger siblings, making sure they ate well, to having their hair and clothing in order.
Robert graduated from High School as Valedictorian, he then attended
Virginia University where he met his wife Rebecca. After graduating from college, they were married.
The day he was assigned to teach History at a Virginia High School, he was called to active duty in the U.S. Army.
Robert was stationed in several states. Denver, CO became his home after becoming very ill and was flown to the
Veteran's Hospital for care. Robert was very popular within his community, having friends of every nationality
who would come to their house for dinner on a weekly basis.

In his professional life he
was a Clinical Psychiatric Social Worker and interacted with various communities reaching out as far as Walsenberg, CO at
the Spanish Peaks Mental Health facility. Robert also purchased
rental property to eventually teach Jocelyn about the importance of owning real estate. RAMERC is a prime example
of this lesson. The building has been in the Miller family for over 35 years.

Robert left a legacy... He truly cared about people
and worked hard at helping them to have self- sustainment. He always saw the best in everyone and always had a good
word to say. With Robert being such a strong influence her entire life, his daughter Jocelyn could not help but to dedicate
this center to her beloved father, therefore naming it The Robert A. Miller Educational Resource Center.
