The Legacy Society:
Gordon Miller
The Legacy Society recognizes and honors people who have made contributions to the
United Way of Martin County Foundation.
Gordon Miller lived life to its fullest, and before he passed
away in 2001 at the age of 79, this generous man named United
Way as one of the beneficiaries of his will.
"Gordon loved Christmas," his former caregiver said. He had
no children and through the years took great joy in supporting
Toys for Tots. When he retired to Stuart, he became a generous
supporter of United Way’s
White Doves
Holiday Project and through his will designated a final gift
to White Doves.
In the early years of his career he lived in Washington,
D.C., and worked for the government as an auditor. He became a
successful real estate investor and worked several years in Fort
Lauderdale. Gordon and his wife loved to travel, and he
continued his journeys even after her death. In his later years,
when his eyesight began to fail, he and his caregiver spent many
a day touring the Treasure Coast.
Miller gave to several charities throughout his lifetime and
made provisions for them in his will. Because of his final
gifts, people with sight impairments have received guide dogs
and audio books, and needy families and children in Martin
County have received food and toys for the holidays.
