Three short years before his death, longtime South Florida attorney James Fox Miller said in one of his online blogs, “Put on my tombstone, ‘Husband, Father, Grandfather, Friend, and Lawyer,’ and that’s everything there is to say about me.”

His passing was announced Thursday by The Florida Bar.

The 84-year-old family law attorney, who served as The Florida Bar president in 1990-91 and saw his share of complex commercial litigation cases, died Tuesday. According to The Bar, Miller was one of the few family law specialists who ever served as president of a state bar.
