Michael Phillip “Mike” Miller, age 83, of Evanston, passed away December 25, 2024 at Citadel of Skokie.

He was born March 22nd, 1941 in Chicago (where he resided his entire life), the son of Harry and Rose (Kaplan) Miller.

Mike was a graduate of Roosevelt University with a B.S.B.A. in Accountancy. Before his retirement, he had been involved in healthcare accounting and the appraisal industry for over 40 years. Prior to entering the appraisal industry, Mike served as an accountant with a national accounting practice and in several hospitals as an accounting manager, controller, and chief financial officer. Mike loved attending concerts-particularly jazz and rock, watching movies, going to the theater, and reading spy and detective novels. He was a fan of many Chicago sports teams, especially the Cubs and enjoyed watching college football, particularly rooting for the Northwestern Wildcats. He loved to travel both domestically and internationally and enjoyed sampling new cuisines. Mike was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and son and cherished his time with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years Gail (Farber); daughters Kimberly Miller and Laura (Miller) Guttman and son-in-law Michael Guttman; grandchildren Alyssa Guttman and Russell Guttman; brother and sister-in-law Alan and Ann Miller; sister-in-law and brother-In-law Linda and Alan Efrussy; and nephews Ken Miller (Anne) and Joel Efrussy (Jasmine) and nieces Sheri Lurie (Steve), Paula Miller (Ed), and Jill (Efrussy) Sour (Chad Sour). He is also survived by many grand-nieces and nephews, including Rick Lurie, Scott Lurie, Matthew Miller, Melissa Miller, Lindsay Kagin, Danielle Flaumenhaft, Sam Miller, Jack Efrussy, and Julia Efrussy; several cousins, including Susan Kaplan and David Margolin; and many dear friends, including Richard Zare, Larry Wasserman, and Larry Stern.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, his in-laws, many aunts and uncles, and his cousin, Mindy Elman.
