Larry Paul Miller

Larry Paul Miller of Leasburg, Missouri was born May 17, 1947 at St. Louis, Missouri to the union of Ralph Edmond and Agnes Lorine (Nee: Westrich) Miller and left from this life on Sunday, March 8, 2015 at his home in Leasburg, Missouri, surrounded by family and friends at the age of 67 years. Larry began working as an auto mechanic soon after graduation and continued to master the trade for forty seven years. He served as a paramedic for the North Crawford Ambulance District for fifteen years, as well as Leasburg's Fire Chief for a period of time. An avid hunter and fisherman, Larry could always be found sitting in silence waiting on a whitetail, reeling in the catfish on the Missouri and Mississippi and snagging for spoonbill in Oklahoma. He enjoyed countless fish fries with good friends and family, where many stories and jokes would be told. Many of which will be retold for years to come. Larry's passion for the outdoors can only be surpassed by his love and devotion for his wife Theresa, with whom he shared his many adventures with. Whether hunting, fishing, camping or gardening, they stayed by each other's side, hand and hand. Walt Whitman describes it best as "We were together, I forget the rest." "May the water be calm and the fish be biting." Larry was a loving son, brother, husband, step father, step grandfather, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend of many. He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him. He is preceded in death by his father Ralph Edmond Miller and other relatives and friends. Those who are left to treasure his memory and to continue his legacy is his loving and devoted wife Theresa Miller of the home, two step daughters Jamie Kay Chandler of Sullivan and Amie May Midyett of Cuba, five amazing grandchildren Ely Hunter, Mason Hunter, Gavyn Midyett, Carson Midyett and Thatcher Midyett, mother Agnes L. Bollinger of Cuba, one sister Kathleen and husband Lee McElwee of Cowgill, Missouri and a host of other relatives and friends. In keeping with Larry's wishes he was cremated. A private service will be held at a later date. The Mizell Funeral Home of Cuba is honored to be serving Larry's family.
