During World War II, Miles proudly served in the U.S. Army Air Corps in the Philippines. After the war he settled in Raccoon Township, where he started his own business doing what he loved, drilling water wells. Miles was well known and well liked, and seemed to always have a constant stream of friends and visitors who just enjoyed being around him. He was interested in everything and always had a new story or joke or subject to talk about. Above all, Miles intensely loved his family and his family adored him. He will be greatly missed.

Friends are welcome to call Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the MCCONNELL FUNERAL HOME, 447 Pine St., Hookstown, PA 15050, Daniel M. McConnell, Owner-Director. Services and interment will be private.
