Larry and Julie Ann were amazing people who touched so many lives of those who knew them. They will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
James Philip Miller
1943 ~ 2022
Captain Philip Miller, age 79. Philip was born in Chinook, Montana to Henry and Marguerite Miller, the eldest of three children. The family moved to the Kona Ranch outside of Missoula, Montana in 1957.
A precocious boy, he would pack into the Bitterroot Mountains on horseback spending several days tending to his many traps. Or he could be found in the cowboy bunkhouse tearing into an in-operative radio or television set. His father had worked for Lockheed pre-WW II. There was always an airplane around the ranch, and someone to “give the kid” a ride. Later, Philip would log flying hours over that same terrain while spotting cattle that had wandered away from the herd.
Employment at Johnson’s Flying Services in Missoula, Montana enabled Philip to pay for his initial flight training and earn his private license shortly after his 16th Birthday. His passion for flying had begun. The time spent in the cockpit nurtured his eagerness to become an airline pilot, along with his desire to sit in the left seat of “the biggest and the best”. From a PA-11 Cub to the “Queen of the Skies”, he never surrendered that goal. He returned to Johnson’s building more flight time in one of the front seats of the C-47 (DC-3) firefighting, hauling cargo, and spraying for insects…
He attended Culver Military Academy in Indiana and the US Naval Academy in Maryland. His time at Annapolis was cut short with the untimely death of his father. Returning to Montana to work the ranch and fulfill several government road building projects, he graduated from Montana State University in 1965, remaining in the US Navy reserve until 1967.
