Miller (January 26, 1906 – December 17, 1954) was a college football player, an All-American tackle under head coach Knute Rockne at the University of Notre Dame,[2][3][4] posthumously elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1985. He later served as an unpaid assistant coach for the Irish, flying in from Milwaukee several times a week.[4] Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Miller was the son of Carl A. Miller of Germany,[1] and Clara Miller (no relation), a daughter of Miller Brewing Company founder Frederick Miller, also a German immigrant.[5] Succeeding his younger cousin Harry John (1919–1992), Miller became the president of the family brewing company in 1947 at age 41 and had a major role in bringing Major League Baseball to Wisconsin, moving the Braves from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953. He coaxed Lou Perini into moving them into the new County Stadium and the Braves later played in consecutive World Series in 1957 and 1958, both against the New York Yankees. Both series went the full seven games with Milwaukee winning the former and New York the latter. DeathThe father of two sons and six daughters, Miller was killed in a plane crash at age 48 on December 17, 1954. The company plane, a converted twin-engine Lockheed Ventura bound for Winnipeg on a Friday evening, had trouble with both engines and crashed shortly after takeoff from Mitchell Field in Milwaukee.[6][7] Also killed were his oldest son, 20-year-old Fred, Jr.,[8] and the two company pilots, Joseph and Paul Laird.[9][10] The Monday funeral for the Millers at Gesu Church was attended by thousands.[11][12] References1. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=PZdQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rSEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7033%2C190523 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Fred Miller will get Notre Dame degree|date=May 31, 1929 |page=5 }} 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AZVQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=oSEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4569%2C5296202 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |last=Kuechle |first=Oliver E. |title=Fred Miller, back home, says piece about 'Rock' |date=December 22, 1927 |page=6, part 2 }} 3. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=eG4WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9SEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3461%2C294180|newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Fred Miller is elected Notre Dame captain |date=February 2, 1928 |page=2, part 2 }} 4. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=_wEaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=oyMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6448%2C4557859 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Miller Brewing Co. president is a colorful figure |agency=(Miller High Life Journal - advertisement)|date=July 19, 1949 |page=2 }} 5. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WPMZAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PiMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5637%2C4009372 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Miller's grandfather came here as immigrant in 1854 |date=December 18, 1954 |page=4}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6XBQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=kg8EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6469%2C2719263|newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel |title=Fred Miller, son die in fiery plane crash |date=December 18, 1954 |page=1 }} 7. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WPMZAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PiMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6502%2C3982953 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Fred C.
