Jerry T. Miller, retired accountant

Jerry T. Miller, 73, of Lewes, passed away Saturday, Dec. 31, 2016, at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes. He was born Sunday, Oct. 31, 1943, in Frederick, Md., son of the late John and Hattie (Zimmerman) Miller.

Mr. Miller was a 1961 graduate of Frederick High School and went on to a lifelong career as an accountant for Bechtel Engineering in Maryland. He spent many years working for the firm, both in Gaithersburg, Md., and Saudi Arabia, retiring after 25-plus years. Mr. Miller relocated to the Delaware Seashore area in 1999, where he became a member of the Rehoboth Black Tie Group. He could be seen around town cruising in his '57 Thunderbird Convertible, and he enjoyed time spent with his many dear friends over a cocktail and good conversation. His love of travel took him all over the world; Egypt, Turkey and Iraq were among his favorite places to visit.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Miller was preceded in death in 1993 by his beloved partner of 18 years, Steve Davis; his brother, Charles Miller; and his sister, Elaine Miller. He is survived by his twin brother, Terry Miller and his wife Virginia of Frederick; his niece, Cindy Sabato; his nephews, Darren Bryant and Scott Allen Miller; and many wonderful friends.

All services will be private. Arrangements are being handled by Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, Lewes.
