April 6, 1929-Feb. 12, 2020

Wesley David Miller, a former East End real estate broker and developer, died of organ failure on Feb. 12 at a hospital in Miami. He was 90 and had been ill for five years.     

Mr. Miller, who was born on April 6, 1929, in Hartford City, Ind., to Floyd and Annita Miller, joined the merchant marine when he was 15. In 1950, he moved to Springs and started building houses. Over the next 39 years, he expanded his business and eventually had offices in Wainscott and New York City.     

Mr. Miller, who lived in Wainscott for many years and, most recently, in North Miami, enjoyed fishing, boating, gardening, and playing the stock market.     

He is survived by Nancy Seek, his partner of 30 years, and four sons, Wesley Miller Jr. of Noyac, Brooke Miller of Hawaii, Gary Miller of Vermont, and Kevin Miller of Springs. Two sisters, Annette Miller and Nadine Miller of Indiana, also survive, as do three grandchildren and one great-grandchild.     

A memorial service will be held at a date to be determined.
