William Joel Miller went home to be with our Heavenly Father on October 6, 2023, at the age of 85. He passed away at S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House in his hometown of Mooresville, N.C. He was a loving father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He will be missed terribly. He was always there for his family, friends and co-workers. Everyone who knew him loved him. Joel was a proud Army Veteran. He was a Dye Range Operator/Supervisor before retiring from Burlington industries in 1999 when the mill shut down, which he missed every day.
