Bruce Stuart Miller<\/p>\n
April 30, 1936 – Oct 31, 2020<\/p>\n
On October 31st, 2020, Bruce<\/p>\n
Stuart Miller, husband, father,<\/p>\n
grandfather, brother, friend and<\/p>\n
colleague, passed away peacefully<\/p>\n
and happy in Edmonds, surrounded<\/p>\n
by the love of his children at the<\/p>\n
age of 84 years. Bruce will be lovingly remembered by his<\/p>\n
two children Catherine & Craig, three grandchildren Soren,<\/p>\n
Andreas & Sarah and his brother Bill. Bruce’s many, many<\/p>\n
friends and colleagues will cherish their memories of happy<\/p>\n
times together with him for many years to come.<\/p>\n
Bruce Stuart Miller was born in Worcester, Massachusetts<\/p>\n
and raised in Iowa City, Iowa together with his three brothers<\/p>\n
Curt, Al and Bill. During these years, he was an active athlete.<\/p>\n
He went on to study Chemistry and Biology at Grinnell<\/p>\n
College and subsequently obtained an MS and Phd in Marine<\/p>\n
Sciences from the University of Washington in Seattle. He<\/p>\n
taught and researched as a full Professor in the School of<\/p>\n
Aquatic & Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington<\/p>\n
for 27 years until he retired in 2002. Bruce continued serving<\/p>\n
the field he was so passionate about for 18 more years as<\/p>\n
Professor Emeritus. His contributions to the field of Marine<\/p>\n
Biology are innumerable, but highlighted by his dedication,<\/p>\n
love and gratitude for the Friday Harbor Labs on San Juan<\/p>\n
Island which, in addition to being his favorite place to work,<\/p>\n
was also a fantastic place to raise a family and go scuba<\/p>\n
diving. Bruce will continue to influence future generations of<\/p>\n
marine scientists through his textbook, ‘Early Life History of<\/p>\n
Marine Fishes (2009).’ His true contribution to our world was<\/p>\n
his unassuming ability to personally touch and support so<\/p>\n
many colleagues, students and people around him. He was a<\/p>\n
very caring and compassionate person.<\/p>\n
Bruce met his devoted wife, Aase Marie, of 55 years while<\/p>\n
they both were working at the UW College of Fisheries in the<\/p>\n
early 1960s. After Catherine and Craig came along, they built<\/p>\n
a life together near Redmond, Washington. For both of them,<\/p>\n
family was the center of their world and they both participated<\/p>\n
fully in their children’s growing up years.<\/p>\n
Bruce is preceded in death by his wife, Aase Marie.<\/p>\n
A private funeral ceremony will be held in early<\/p>\n
November. A celebration of Bruce’s life is planned postpandemic.<\/p>\n
