The death has taken place today of a well known Laois businessman, after an illness.
Pat Miller was the proprietor of Miller's Hardware for over 40 years in Portlaoise town centre, and supported businesses in the town as a stalwart member of the traders group.
He was also a great supporter of Laois GAA and local clubs.
Mr Miller closed his hardware business last year, citing the difficulty of trading in a town centre as an independent business. His son Patrick since started a new Miller's Hardware business on the Dublin road.
Mr Miller passed away today at his home, aged 70. A native of Timahoe, he lived in Meelick outside Portlaoise.
He is survived by his Patsy, daughter Olga, sons Patrick and Ronan, son-in-law Liam, daughters-in-law Nikki and Claire and grand-children Ryan, Sarah and Ewan, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and a large circle of friends.
