CRAIG WILLIAM MILLER 1956 - 2015 As the moon sets on this winter morning, it is with great sadness and regret we bid farewell, as the sun and moon have set for the last time for Craig (Puckman) Miller. Craig passed away in the warm climate of San Diego, California. San Diego, where Craig wanted to be, away from the cold and close to the water, and great fishing - Craig lived the last chapters in the warm temperate climates of the south. Odd that a guy who grew up spending most of his youth on outdoor hockey rinks would shun the natural climate that fueled his passion for hockey and the great outdoors. Son, Friend, Father, Husband, Brother - Craig touched us all and would give the shirt off his back to help others out. He loved you with all of his heart, would infuriate you, make you laugh and was always the consummate salesman. God bless you and may you rest in peace. Cremation has taken place. Memorial services will be announced at a later time. Please make a donation in Craig's honour to one of your local outreach organizations.

Craig was a good friend of mine, I met him in Las Vegas, we worked together. I left vegas and kept in touch with Craig, he eventually ended up in Montana. He needed to get out of Montana, so I flew him to Seattle to hang with me for about 3 months, I then took him to Boston and brought him down to the Bobby Orr statue at the Garden. It was something he always wanted to do. I then took him to San Diego. I set him up with a place to live and work, I went back to Seattle and kept in touch with him up until his phone was no longer in service. I googled his name one day and saw that he had passed away.

I have known Craig since our days competing against each other in the MJHL. We both ended up in Montana as teammates playing hockey in the SWHL. There were many golf games and hunting and fishing trips here in Montana. We drifted as life went on, as careers and family took precedence. I am deeply saddened by his passing, as are many others here in Montana. - Posted by: Bobby Vermette (Teammate/Friend) on: Feb 22, 2016
