Lester Lee Miller

Lester Lee Miller (Pops) passed away Thursday, May 12th from a long battle with cancer. Lester was born June 17th, 1935 to Alexander and Christine Miller in Anamoose, North Dakota. He grew up and worked on the family farm with his 16 brothers and sisters. In 1954 at the age of 18, he moved to Anaconda and started working at the Anaconda Smelter. He worked until retirement at the age of 50. He then went working for Stuber and Son with mechanics. Lester had an adventurous soul. His favorite pastimes were shooting pool uptown, hunting with his two best buds, his son Mick and his grandson Jeff and family fishing and snowmobiling up to Sundance and Grasshopper Lodge. He soon found his next passion, purchasing land up at Silver Lake outside of Anaconda. He spent his days landscaping and teaching his family his great work ethics running heavy equipment. The love he had for his family and friends was endless. Anyone who knew Lester knew his big heart.
