A former Indiana state senator and owner of Warsaw-based Miller’s Merry Manor died Wednesday in Venice, Fla. V. Richard “Dick” Miller, 76, Syracuse, served as an Indiana state senator from 1976 to 1988, several of those as a Senate Majority Leader. Along with his parents and siblings, he founded the nursing home and was a Warsaw High School graduate. On July 31, 2014, Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, in the House of Representatives, congratulated Miller’s Health Systems for 50 years of service to Hoosiers. She said, “The business was started by Wallace and Connie Miller in 1964 as Miller’s Merry Manor nursing home on the outskirts of Warsaw. After the company was taken over by their son, V. Richard Miller, the company has expanded to over 30 Miller's Merry Manors and 10 senior living facilities. With the multitude of facilities Miller's Health Systems has today, they have grown to over 3,000 employees.” Mishler Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
