KENNEBUNKPORT –
Louis F. Miller, 88, passed away peacefully on Feb. 2, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Lou was born on Feb. 12, 1937, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He grew up in Spring Valley, N.Y., where his family owned and operated Singer’s Hotel, a well-known hotel and catering business in the community. As a child, Lou spent winters at his parents’ hotel and dude ranch, Rancho Grande, where he first learned to be a cowboy—something that remained a part of his spirit throughout his life. He attended Hamilton College before serving a brief stint in the United States Army in El Paso, Texas.

Lou later returned to Spring Valley, N.Y. and became General Manager of Singer’s Hotel, playing an important role in the family business until it was sold in the 1980s. He believed deeply in community service and giving back. While living in Montebello, N.Y., he served as Deputy Mayor. 

Lou will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and dedication to his family and community. 

He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife of 35 years, Jill; his daughter, Dr. Jane Miller of Nashville, Tenn., and his son, Charlie Miller, and Charlie’s wife, Salma Miller, of Brighton, Mass.
