Peter Miller

Peter D. Miller-63 years old Madison/Stoughton/Evansville, WI

Born on August 12, 1952, Pete passed away on Sunday December 13, 2015 surrounded by his family after a long battle with Diabetes and Liver Disease.

Pete had been active in the Food Service Business since he was a child working alongside his parents at Millers Discount House and then moving on to Corner Superette. Pete and his wife Nancy then founded Miller's Surplus Sales and L & S Wholesale.

Pete was also an active hobby farmer where in the 1980's he had numerous properties in the Mount Hope, WI area with a large head of beef cattle. His love of animals resurfaced in the past year as he took on a handful of beef cattle and pigs.

Pete was not a man of many words to express his feelings but he showed his affections in his actions. Those who knew him can understand that when he harassed you or just poked fun at you, you were special to him. His grandchildren always knew that when they saw "Papa" he was going to tease them and they gave it right back to him.

Pete is survived by the mother of his children Nancy Miller (Todd Wolf), daughters Sarah Laufenberg (CJ Chamberlain) and Louisa Mahieu, 7 grandchildren Blake & Bradly Laufenberg, Julianna Mahieu (Wesley Housel), Savanna Mahieu (Drew Townsend), Noaj, Annalisa and James Mahieu. He is further survived by his siblings Karen Latsch, Tom Miller (Pam) and Diane Ruppert (Gary). Also surviving Pete are numerous family members, friends, business acquaintances and his extended "Vale" family.

He was preceded in death by his parents Peter J. and Catherine M. Miller, niece/god-daughter Tracy Judd Graser and sister-in-law JoAn Barber (Vale).

In his final days he "just wanted to go home for one day". He is at home now with his family in heaven.
Pete-Dad-Papa,

You are now in no more pain and you will be missed and loved by all.
