Daniel J. Miller

Miller, Daniel John “Danny” Age 74, of Bensenville, passed away March 11, 2016. Born December 27, 1941 in Chicago, Danny was a true original. The face and personality of the Rosebud Cafe on Taylor St. for over 2 decades, his enthusiastic welcome to anyone who walked through its doors made them feel like a million bucks. His infectious charisma and ability to turn strangers into friends was his greatest gift. Danny’s quick wit and way with words could bring the most serious of us to laughter. A loyal friend, caring father, doting grandfather and proud Chicagoan. His big personality and even bigger heart will live on in the countless memories, laughs, and stories he shared with friends and family from the dinner table to the golf course. Survived by his children, Michele (nee Miller) Peradotti, Melissa (Jeff) Lazar, Alexandra Miller; loving grampa of Sofia, Daniel, Mia, and Isabella; dear brother of Timothy (Lois), Thomas and Christopher (Heidi) Miller; dear uncle of Clint and Jeremy. Danny is also survived by his beloved, Pat Lantini and her children, Kelly and Nick Lantini and Pat’s grandchildren, Madisenne and Bella. Preceded by his parents, Margaret (nee Doody) and Clarence Miller; and his sister, Patricia Mercer.
