| Ronald C. Miller, 66, desk officer at the Department of Transportation, died of metastatic colon cancer May 27 at his home in Bethesda. |
|
|
| Mr. Miller began working for the federal government in 1970 at the old Civil Aeronautics Board, where he was a transportation industry analyst. When the CAB closed in 1984, Mr. Miller moved to the Transportation Department, focusing on Eastern Europe. |
|
|
| A native of New York, Mr. Miller grew up all over the country and also lived for a time in Cuba because his father's work as a wrestling promoter took the family to many locales. He graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington and from George Washington University. |
|
|
| For more than 15 years, he commuted to work from Brookmont by bicycle. After retiring in 2001, he was a member of the Wednesday Irregulars bike group. He was a trustee of Brookmont Church, a nondenominational congregation in Montgomery County. |
|
|
| Mr. Miller also enjoyed cooking and for the past 15 years led a neighborhood hike up Old Rag Mountain every Jan. 1. |
|
| A daughter, Elizabeth Miller, died in 2001. |
|
| Survivors include his wife of 37 years, Judy Miller of Bethesda; three children, Jonathan Miller of Boston, Carl Miller of Berkeley, Calif., and Jenny Miller of Chicago. |
