Also preceded in death by Rev Harvey Wangerin, Rev Fred Hinz, Esther Hinz, Alex YoungEagle, Anna YoungEagle, Jonathan YoungEagle, Rev J George Hauser, Roy Schoewe, Rev Bill Steinke and grandson Jeff Taylor (Coulter).
Miles was the cherished father of Robert (Janice) Coulter, Marilyn (Leroy) Zimdars and Judy (Brian) Mosehart; loving Grandfather of Starlee Counts (David), Jamie (Zimdars), Donald (Amy) Mosehart and Dawn (Aaron) Olson.

Dear Brother-in-law to Magdalene Wangerin, Dorothy Schoewe, Hildegard Hauser; endearing Uncle of numerous Nephews and Nieces. He is further survived by many caring friends he made while living at Hart Park Square.
Miles retired as an accountant over 40 years ago. For many years he then enjoyed life with his wife Betty…playing cards, square dancing, playing the accordion, dart ball and just spending time with his family. Around the time he turned 90 he became fascinated with art and painted many pictures that told a story about his life. Never wanting to fall “behind”, he always kept up with technology. Wherever he went he became a celebrity, everyone knew Miles and he will be missed by so many.
