The Millers lived in the Hubbard/Woodburn area most of their lives where they raised their family and built a successful business as a Drilling Contractor, bringing drinking water and irrigation to people throughout the Willamette Valley. After retirement and always looking for a new challenge, "Pink" developed
Hubbard Self Storage, a thriving business in the community he loved. He served proudly in the Navy on the USS Pursuit during WWII. He was a volunteer fireman for the City of Hubbard and supported many local businesses and charities. He loved playing golf, but most of all he loved spending time with his family.
