Miller: Friends recall colorful personality
Continued from page 1
adding that what his brother really
cared about was making the world a
better place.
“Once he got onto something, he
was pretty single-minded about it. He
was pretty relentless,” Bob Miller said.
“(Bruce Miller and his father) be
came the first two salesmen of Nike
shoes,” Bob Miller said.
“He saw things that people didn’t
see,” Bob Miller said. “That’s why he
annoyed people.”
Because of his persistence, Bruce
Miller had been kicked out or barred
from several campus areas.
Department of Public Safety Lieu
tenant Herb Horner said he can re
member Miller getting kicked off
campus after he harassed people in
the ASUO and Greek Life offices.
Miller appealed the decision to then
DPS Director Tom Fitzpatrick, who
voided the trespass order on the un
derstanding that Miller would be re
spectful to other people and not inter
rupt public meetings.
“We got calls from a lot of different
groups about him, even the law
school,” Homer said. “I think he finally
got it after that time he got trespassed. ”
PFC Chairwoman Persis Pohowalla
said Miller “wasn’t a big pain at my
meetings,” but she had been at prior
meetings when Miller was very vocal
and even a “nuisance.”
“Most of the time, it’s just unneces
sary, irrelevant comments,” Pohowal
la said. “I will admit that he had his
very rare, rare moments when he said
something useful.”
Oregon Commentator Editor in
Chief Tyler Graf, who Miller frequently
visited at the journal’s office, said his
biggest memory of Miller is when
Miller stood outside of a Student Sen
ate meeting last year screaming at
then-Senate President Ben Strawn,
calling him incompetent. Strawn was
upset because Miller had contacted
Strawn’s mother and told her that her
son was incompetent, Graf said.

Bruce Miller asks the panel of ASUO Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees
questions during the ASUO debates earlier this month.
“At first Bruce just seemed odd,
because what 60-year-old man pays
attention to student government?
But deep down I think he was just a
generally nice guy who wanted
(student leaders) to take responsi
bility for their actions because he
knew they were going to be our fu
ture leaders,” Graf said.
Strawn said his strongest memory of
Miller was when he approached his
mother while she was on campus
helping Strawn campaign for ASUO
president and told her that Strawn was
“mean, spiteful and immature.” His
mother told Miller to take a hike,
Strawn said.
That memory was probably not the
most representative of the man,
Strawn said, adding that Miller was
“always pushing you to do a better job
than what you were doing. ”
Hight said at times Miller did have
helpful suggestions, once he finished
making excessive points.
“It was kind of like getting through
the static,” Hight said, adding that one
of his good ideas was to get parents
more involved in lobbying efforts.
Kathy Viscarra, of the Campus Copy
Center, met Miller when he came to
make copies of his newsletter.
“He was quite willing to express his
point of view,” she said. “You either
liked Bruce, or you didn’t like Bruce.”
Miller was also very active at the
community level. Eugene Mayor Kitty
Piercy said Miller regularly attended
city council meetings, monitored city
issues and frequently exhorted the city
council to take action.
“He cared about our community and
urged us all to be careful in safeguard
ing our natural resources and zealous
in protecting the rights of the most vul
nerable,” she said in an e-mail to the
Emerald. “He could be a pretty loud
voice on occasion and even a challenge
to deal with at times, but he gave his
best to us and we will miss him. ”
Students leaders also expressed
how different meetings will be with
out Miller.
“He will be missed for his consisten
cy,” Hight said. “He was more dedicat
ed than most of the student body.”
