On April 25, 2002 Wellesley High School's Class of 1988 lost a dear friend, Greg Miller. Greg, age 32 died from a short battle with cancer. Greg was born with glycogen storage disease, a challenge he managed well his entire life. Greg attended Cornell University, Ithaca, New York class of 1992.

I recall visiting Greg at Cornell, where Greg's enthusiasm for his school team, Big Red was unparalleled. I have never witnessed anyone so excited about hockey in my life. Greg managed to get me a ticket to the Cornell-Harvard hockey game; we looked forward to the match up for two months. A Saturday night in upstate New York in the dead of winter could not have been more pleasurable. It was absolute pandemonium in that arena the entire game, and Greg and I loved every minute of it. It was freezing that night with frozen snow banks and a brutal wind chill, but it didn't faze us, Cornell had won. Greg was always a magnificent host; my happiness always came before his. Andrea Robinson (Archibald) recalls that Greg was the first person to introduce himself when she first entered the halls of Wellesley High School. That was a perfect example of the kind of guy he was.

After college it was Greg's mission to work in the highly competitive sports field. Like Greg had been his whole life, he was determined. He began with his passion of hockey by doing play-by-play for local high school and college hockey games. His love of the games took him to minor league baseball and hockey teams in Maryland, Iowa, Alabama and Georgia. In Atlanta he did the weekend sports flash for The Zone, Atlanta's all sports radio station. Most recently Greg was representing promising college and Russian hockey players.

Greg leaves his parents, Barbara and Alan Miller of Wellesley; his brother Andrew Miller, of Newton, his sister in-law, Klee of Newton; and a nephew, Bret of Newton. Greg's brother, Scott, passed away on April 24, 2008, from complications of glycogen storage disease.
