So sorry to hear this. He was one of my favorites. Brilliant, kind and funny. He went out of his way to help me understand chemistry concepts I could not grasp. I didn't appreciate the subject matter at the time, but thanks to Mr. Miller, I now as an adult have a tremendous respect and fascination for it. He will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest condolences to his family.

Mr. Miller was by far the best teacher I've ever had. I will never forget what an inspirational teacher, and caring, kind man he was. I smile every time I think of him. My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to his entire family.

Dear Carol and Sharon, Words cannot possibly express the positive force that “Coach” was in my life. He was a fabulous teacher, yes - but more importantly was a stellar mentor at a time when I most needed one. He was encouraging and helped me to find my inner strength to push forward on my own path. It was wonderful to be able to connect with you in recent years. I’m glad we could introduce you to our children including his goddaughter Catherine. I wish you all the best in this difficult time. Mary Elizabeth and Rick

Mr. Miller was my homeroom teacher B-1 for my 4 years at Shore. I remember how excited he was to tell us when his daughter was born. He had the gift of being an educator who could connect with his students on several levels. His science lessons were not just for those who loved the subject. I am sorry for your loss and hope that some of the memories people are sharing will help you realize how special a man he was to many folks.

To the Miller family, Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Mr Miller. He was one of the best teachers I ever had. His love of science and math was so very evident in his teaching.I loved his Earth Science class! He inspired me to persue at first a teaching career (HS math) and that evolved to nursing and eventually engineering. He made it FUN to learn. We all loved seeing him at our class reunions and he will be sorely missed. Sincerly Karen deSante Wright SRHS class of 70

The Miller family, so sorry for your loss. I am one of the thousands of students that passed through Mr Miller’s hs chemistry class. Thinking of my HS experience, he stands out as one of my more memorable educators. He made chemistry comprehensible, interesting, and enjoyable. He was also kind, open to his students, a good listener and above all fair. As I later life became a pharmacist with one course short of a double major with chemistry, I was a student he inspired. I thank him
Dominic Iacopino left a message on April 18, 2019:
I had Mr. Miller for Chemistry his first year at Shore Regional. He was a great teacher, we had a lot of great times in his class. Not only did he teach us about Chemistry, he taught us a lot about life and what we would be facing in the future. That is great teacher who cared about his students. He will be missed, he cannot be replaced. My heart and condolences go out to his family and loved ones, I hope you find solace from God in your time of sorrow. May God bless and comfort you in your time of sadness. God bless you Mr. Miller!!

I had Mr. Miller for Biology at Shore Regional in the late 60s. He made it interesting to someone who really isn't science oriented. He knew my family vacationed in Maine and I was also headed in that direction for college. I'll always remember what he wrote in my yearbook - Best of luck in the Maine woods. He told me he had studied at Bowdoin College in Brunswick and appreciated the beauty of the state. Mr. Miller really was meant to be a teacher with the way he connected to his students. I am so fortunate to have been in his classroom. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Fred Spiegel left a message on April 17, 2019:
Ed was my Earth Science teacher in 1966-67, and he became one of my favorite people. He took us to the State Science Fair several years. He was always fun to discuss science ideas with. Ed was responsible for nominating me for one of the honors in my life that mean the most to me, becoming a distinguished alumnus from Shore Regional in 2002. He was a truly wonderful person, and I will miss him a lot. All my best to his family.

Mr. Miller was the best coach I ever had and just a great role model. He was a perfect fit in his role of lasting influence on all who were so fortunate to take in all that he gave. I still stick a pebble in my mouth sometimes when I exercise as he did during baseball practice.

That's a real pity. I’m so sad to hear this. Ed was such a fine gentleman and a class act. An accomplished educator who cared deeply about kids and ideas. He was a guy who brought to our high school a rare fine blend of academic and athletic talents. He made SRHS a better pace the moment he walked through the front door. Condolences to the Miller family. Rest assured that he made a difference in a great many student’s lives.

Aside from being my sister Barbara Cavanagh's neighbor I knew Ed through Shore Regional when I was a board member. Although we didn't always see eye to eye I knew he was a knowledgeable educator and a gentleman and I always respected his opinions. May he rest in peace and his memory at Shore live on.

joseph paduano left a message on April 17, 2019:
Mr. Miller was one of the good guys. I didn't have him for science, but we knew each other through other teachers. After graduating in 1970, Shore hired me and 2 others to work for the school that summer. We encountered some undue negative feedback from the administration regarding our work and Mr. Miller stood up for us against the administration. They never bothered us again. He didn't have to do that. I'll always remember him for that and for his kindness to all the students.
Laura Duffy left a message on April 17, 2019:
Mr. Miller was my chemistry teacher in 81-82. He took a student who was scared to death of science and taught her to work hard, overcome her fear, and embrace learning. His teaching was integral to passing college chemistry. I have always had the deepest respect for his passion and drive that he was able to convey to each of his students. My condolences to his family.
Patricia Little-Taylor left a message on April 17, 2019:

Roy Hoagland left a message on April 17, 2019:
Mrs. Miller and family: I am one of the many students Mr. Miller taught. Ironically, I found his Chemistry class so hard I was certain I would take no more science classes--only to then major in Biology and spend a career in nonprofit environmental protection and advocacy. I will always remember Mr. Miller as gentle, caring, and genuine. When my older brother was injured in a soccer game, he offered to take me to the hospital. When I saw him at a reunion one year, and told him of my environmental work, he commented that he was glad to see I had chosen the side of "the good guys." I am grateful for his not only being a truly fine teacher, but for his natural kindness. He was a model for what it is like to be a decent human being. May the many lives he touched and shaped serve to help soften the grief of your loss. Respectfully, Roy Hoagland
Andrew Whalen left a message on April 17, 2019:
I remember right before Christmas break, when he made these flaming snowballs in Chemistry. After graduation, he encouraged me to consider a run for office. I didn't follow through until over 20 years later. Great memories of a great teacher.

Patty Steele Nielsen left a message on April 17, 2019:
Very sorry to hear about Mr. Miller's passing. I took Chemistry with him in 1974-75. I remember that he made sure that we learned how to use a slide rule in the first half of the year before we were able to use the handheld held calculators that were all the rage at that time. Chemistry was not really my forte (I was a English/History student) but as a college prep kid, I had to enter the rather intimidating and yet very well organized world of Mr. Miller's classroom. He was very smart and very kind. I am afraid I gave the seasoned Marine a bit of a scare when I almost burned the lab down when I set some rubber tubing on fire with a bunsen burner. Calm and in control, he took care of the situation in a flash and all was saved. Condolences to his family. He was a Good Man.

I am praying for Mr. Miller and his family. Mr. Miller was my favorite teacher, who wrote my college recommendation letters so many years ago. He was one of the many people in my life who helped me become the person I am today. Mr. Miller and his family will always occupy a special place in my heart and soul.
