HENRY S. MILLER JR. DIES
DALLAS (Dallas Morning News) - After a career in real estate spanning over half a century, 95-year-old real estate giant Henry S. Miller Jr. died Saturday following a brief illness.
Miller joined his father's one-man property sales office after WWII and transformed it into one of the country's largest commercial and residential real estate companies, eventually serving as its chief executive.
In 1971, Miller, along with Virginia Cook, established what would become one of the country's largest independent home sales companies.
By the mid 1980s, the Henry S. Miller Co. had over 1,300 employees working in 41 offices and was the fifth-largest real estate brokerage operation in the nation.
In 1984, the Miller family sold the real estate company to Grubb & Ellis Co. for $47 million - at that time one of the highest prices ever paid for a regional real estate firm. The family later bought back the residential sales business and re-established the commercial operation, which still has extensive operations in North Texas.
