Keeping the Miller Family in our warmest thoughts as you navigate this difficult time — and wishing you hope and healing when you're ready. My memories of Irvin were from the mid-late 70's when he wore an Afro as most young men did back then, but Irvin had this really huge Afro that swayed back and forth playing basketball at the "The Spencer Recreation Center". As I remember him from those years he was competitive, and he was a good man
