Lewis Ames Miller
Lewis Ames Miller, who dedicated his life to family, to elevating those less fortunate than himself, and to improving the quality of medical care worldwide, passed away at home in Manhattan on December 28, 2024. He is survived by his daughter Kathryn, his son David and daughter-in-law Nina, two grandsons and two great-grandchildren, as well as the three children and two grandchildren of his dear twin brother Sandy.
Lew was born in Brooklyn in 1928. It was there he met the love of his life, Jean (née Chandler), with whom he traveled the world and raised Dave, Kathy and several charismatic boxers. Lew and Jean settled in Darien, CT, where he was the first lay moderator of the First Congregational Church and fought for years to break down barriers to the development of affordable housing. Lew and Jean returned to New York City for their later years, and Lew was at Jean’s side when she passed away in 2015.
Lew was a proud graduate of Princeton University; the time he spent writing for the Daily Princetonian inspired a lifelong career in journalism and publishing. He maintained a strong relationship with his classmates and the larger Princeton community, serving for five years as chair of Princeton’s alumni education programs and multiple times as president of his beloved Class of ‘49.
Lew was the consummate globetrotter, travelling to all seven continents with Jean and his family and starting businesses that had presences in South America, Europe and Australia. Through one of these ventures, Lew hired a bright young Mexican engineer named Pedro Vera, starting a generation-spanning connection between Lew’s and Pedro’s families that remains strong to this day.
Lew enjoyed a varied and successful career in business. He founded the Glastonbury Citizen, a weekly local newspaper that is still thriving almost 75 years later. He later moved into medical publishing, where he founded the revolutionary physicians’ journal Patient Care, published numerous articles and a book, and started up several companies and organizations. One of his many professional highlights came in 2017, when he received a Lifetime and Distinguished Service Award from the Alliance for Continuing Education of Health Professionals, which he founded in 1975.
Eschewing a traditional retirement, Lew continued to travel and remained active in the continuing medical education field to the very end. In 2022, he founded Helping Immigrants Thrive, a New York-based charity helping undocumented immigrants become accommodated in their new home. Lew’s family remembers him for his generosity, devotion, sense of humor, wicked tennis serve, and dedication to the greater good.
Two services to celebrate Lew’s life will be held. One in New York City on February 7, 2025 at 1 pm at Christ Church NYC located at 524 Park Avenue at 60th Street and the second in Darien, CT on Saturday February 8, 2025 at 1 pm in the First Congregational Church, 14 Brookside Road, Darien CT. Receptions will follow each service in the church Parish Halls.
