Carlisle Events’ Co-Founder Chip Miller dies at 61
Miller lost battle with rare disease Amyloidosis

CARLISLE, PA - Elliott S. “Chip” Miller passed away in the early morning of
March 25 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., at the age of 61. He was
surrounded by loved ones in his final moments.

Miller was diagnosed with primary Amyloidosis in December 2003. The rare
plasma cell disorder, which attacks the body’s main organs, affects about
2,000 people each year. Currently, there is no cure. Miller’s death was due
to complications related to Amyloidosis.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to
the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation, 1000 Bryn Mawr Road, Carlisle, PA
17013-1588. Arrangements for memorial services have not been determined.
Carlisle Events will continue to update its Web site,
www.carsatcarlisle.com, as information is received.

Well said, Vetteonr.
I met him last year at Corvettes at Carlisle. He was standing next to his pristinely restored 53, like a proud papa. He took a few minutes to show me the car, and tell me a few stories about it.
And there I was, a nobody, and he took the time to make my day.

He was truly a good man.
God rest his soul.
