Scarsdale Remembers Bill Miller

William S. Miller (Bill) died at home on July 18, surrounded by loving family and just shy of his 92nd birthday. He was born July 23, 1932, the son of Cecile and Mark Miller.

Bill and his sister, Sara Feldman who predeceased him, grew up in the Bronx under the shadow of Yankee Stadium where he first heard the roars of the crowd, and became an obsessive baseball fan . When he was eight years old, the Millers moved to New Rochelle. Bill attended Harvard College where he developed a life-long interest in politics. He graduated magna cum laude in 1954 and continued on to Harvard Business School graduating with distinction in 1956 with a focus on negotiations and collective bargaining. Following service in the U.S. Army Finance Corps, he joined Miller Cardboard. He became Principal Owner and was its President for more than thirty years until he sold the company in 1995.

Throughout his career Bill was actively involved in a multitude of volunteer activities in Scarsdale and was President of the Scarsdale Board of Education and President of Westchester Reform Temple. In 2013 he was honored by the Scarsdale community with its highest award for volunteerism, the Scarsdale Bowl.

Bill married Ann Rosenthal in 1958 and they had four children, Elizabeth Miller Guggenheimer (Randy), Mark R. Miller (Tonya), Dr. Rachel L. Miller (Kent) and

Dr. Steven W. Miller. The family enjoyed wonderful summers together at their vacation home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Following Ann's death, Bill married Stephanie Pollack Singer in 2000 and welcomed her children, Dr. Debra Beth Singer and Dr. Marcy Singer Gabella (Dr. William Gabella) to the family. Both families had been close for many years and Bill often said, "my family is my pride and joy".

Their blended family now includes nine grandchildren, Laura Guggenheimer (Dr. Aaron Deutsch), Brian Guggenheimer, Sam Miller, Benjamin Miller, Andrea Becker, Andrew Stein, Daniel Stein, Isaac Gabella, Joshua Gabella and two great grandchildren.

Bill was a compassionate, committed and highly ethical person who will be missed by all. The family would appreciate donations made to the Caring Community of Westchester Reform Temple or to Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service in his memory. Funeral Services will be held at Westchester Reform Temple on Monday, July 22, 2024 beginning at 11:30 AM.
