Larry D. Miller

Larry D. Miller, 83, of Jaffrey, NH, passed away with his wife and family by his side on Sunday, August 6, 2023, at Monadnock Community Hospital. Larry was born on December 10, 1939, to the late Francis H. and Grace J. (Ehrman) Miller in Porter, MI. He grew up on the family farm in St. Louis, MI, where he lived until 1960 when he enrolled at Ferris State University.

Larry married the love of his life, Joyce, on September 2, 1962, in St. Louis, MI, before he went into the Army Reserves. Soon after his military service, Larry joined Magna-Lock as an engineer, where he stayed until relocating his family to New England and joining OS Walker. In 1986, Larry and Joyce entered business for themselves, purchasing a sawdust mill and expanding operations in 1990 to include wood pellet manufacturing and delivery. In 1993, they relocated operations to Jaffrey, New Hampshire, naming their business “Heart Line Stove Shop,” where they specialize in home heating and cooling, as well as hearth products.

Larry had a love for travel, especially by motorcycle. He enjoyed handguns and ammunition, telling stories, and making people laugh. Larry will be forever remembered by his wife of 60 years, Joyce E. Miller, his children, David Miller and his wife Juno of Peterborough, NH, Brian Miller and his wife Anne of Barre, MA, and Heather (Miller) Fernandes and her husband Michael of Middleborough, MA, along with 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters Pam (Miller) Ferguson of Port Angeles, WA, and Janet (Miller) Woods of Payson, AZ.
