It is with a heavy heart that Centre Square Fire Company announces the passing of Fire Chief, Lee Miller.

Chief Miller joined Centre Square Fire Company in 1995 and served as Fire Chief for the past 16 years. He was recently inducted as life member of the company for his many years of service and countless hours of hard work. In addition to his time as Fire Chief, Lee worked for Whitpain Township for 40 years. In his time at the township, he served as Parks Superintendent and most recently Assistant Public Works Director.

Chief had a calm, steadfast demeanor which he used to guide the company throughout his many years in leadership positions. Lee was the definition of a public servant and one that truly loved his community. He will be greatly missed by all who he crossed paths with throughout his career.

Lee is survived by his wife Sue, daughter Courtney (Sam), son Jesse, and Grandson Bodhi. We ask that you join us in keeping the entire Miller family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
