He was a life-long Anaconda resident and left only briefly for a vacation to Korea and Japan, compliments of Uncle Sam. Butch attended Anaconda school and graduated from Anaconda Senior High in 1950. Butch was a worker. As a little kid, he got a job blocking ice up at Sunny Side (people used ice boxes back then) and almost drown for his hard work. He worked on the family farm and eventually went to work on the railroad section crew laying tracks at the age of 13 and being a big kid, he got away with it. When his boss found out his age, he sent Butch back to school but allowed him to work during school and holiday breaks. After graduating from High School, Butch went to work at Central Motors in Anaconda. Thus, began his life’s career as a mechanic. In 1951, Butch decided to enlist in the Army. He figured he was going to be drafted anyway and hoped enlisting would get a favorable assignment. He did not. Immediately after basic training, he was shipped directly to Korea where he spent most of his time “behind enemy lines.” He engaged in heavy combat and lost many good friends. Following Korea, Butch spent some time in Japan where he let off some steam, enjoyed himself, and stole an Army Jeep. He was Honorably Discharged. He lived his life to the fullest for the rest of his life. Upon return from the military, Butch returned to work at Central Motors. He met and fell in love with a vivacious Irish woman, Eileen Roe, whom he married in 1960. They were blessed with two children, Kathleen, and Floyd “Tom.” Butch opened his own gas and service station at the corner of Elm and Park Street, Butch’s ’76 in 1970. Sadly, Eileen became ill and remained ill for many years. Butch eventually sold the gas station and took care of Eileen full-time until she died on December 11, 1996. He also took care of his mother, June, in his home full-time until she died in 1998. During the years he took care of his wife and mother, Butch opened a business in his home garage repairing radiators and turning brakes. He also delivered the Montana Standard for years and owned the Miller’s Sno-Cone machine. Butch fell in love again and in January 1998 married a lovely brunette, Rose Mary Reed. He was a wonderful stepfather to her children, James, Cathy, and Clay. Butch and Rose Mary’s home was always full of friends, family, visitors, and strangers that were given a meal or warm bed. He was ready to tell a story if you’d sit and have a cup of coffee. Butch will be dearly missed by many. Butch was proceeded in death by his parents, Olin and June Miller, his first wife, Eileen, his brother, Gene (Alice) Miller; his sister, Muggs (Jerry) Holmlund; his stepsons, James and Clay Reed; and many other family and friends. Butch is survived by his wife, Rose Mary; his children, Kathleen Miller, Floyd (Monique) Miller, Cathy Johnson; his grandchildren, Jorgen and Eileen Miller; in-laws, Tom Roe, Lloyd Peterson, Betty and Monty Spencer, Derinda Johnson, Audine Kelly, and Don (Tamara) Johnson; special friends, Leroy Fitzgerald and Paul Carney; and, many nieces, nephews, and good friends. As Dad always said at the end of every phone call, “Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite. God Bless Ya and Love Ya. Give a me a holler if you need anything.” Funeral services will be held at the Church of Christ on Friday, July 24, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. There will be one hour of visitation prior to the service at the church. Interment will follow at Mount Olivet Cemetery. Published by Longfellow-Finnegan Riddle Funeral Home, Anaconda, MT
