"Justice Benjamin Miller was a gentleman who was a gentle man. He gave respect and kindness to all whose paths he crossed. Justice Miller loved the Illinois Supreme Court, the law, and life. He set the example for lawyers, judges, and citizens by the way he treated others. He will be missed. May his example live on through all of us," stated Illinois State Bar Association President Shawn S. Kasserman.
