John “Jack” L. Miller, Esq. a retired attorney died Wednesday November 17th.
Mr. Miller was 87 and lived at Cedar Crest in Pompton Plains at the time of his death. Born in Clifton, Mr. Miller lived in the Packanack Lake section of Wayne NJ for 51 years.
He was the son of Ada and William A. Miller, Clifton's first City Manager. He was a graduate Lehigh University and the University of Virginia Law School. Mr. Miller was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1950 and was in private practice in Clifton and Wayne where he served as municipal prosecutor, tax attorney and attorney for the Board of Adjustment. He also served Clifton as acting Municipal Court Judge. Mr. Miller was a former member of the Passaic County and American Bar Association. Jack took great pride in his thirty-four years of practicing law, and the fact that he never missed a single day of work, before retiring in 1984.
Jack met his wife Sally van der Wolk at the Montclair Ski Club and their first date was to play a round of golf. He proposed to Sally at home after a lavish dinner at Mayfair Farms in West Orange, married on June 23, 1956 at the Union Congregational Church in Upper Montclair, and honeymooned in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Nassau, Bahamas. They enjoyed fifty four years of loving marriage.
He was the founder and past president of the Clifton Rotary Club and a former member of the Wayne Rotary Club. As a Rotarian he had thirty years of perfect attendance. He was also a member of the Clifton Masonic Lodge, the Packanack Lake Yacht club, the Packanack Community Church, and a charter member of the Packanack Golf Club . He also served on the Board of Directors of the Passaic Valley Citizens Planning Assoc. and the United Fund of Passaic Valley.
He served in the U.S. army as a combat engineer in Europe during WW II. Surviving are his wife, Sally Van der Wolk, Miller, a daughter Susan L Clark and her husband William of Kinnelon, and a son John L. Miller Jr. and his wife Shirley of Sparta, and four grand children Lee and Chris Clark and Katharine and Amy Miller. A brother, William H. Miller formerly of Randolph, NJ predeceased him.
