🙏 The IAFF is saddened to announce the passing of General Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus Thomas H. “Tommy” Miller.

A second-generation fire fighter, Navy veteran, and lifelong union leader, Tommy served 37 years with the Indianapolis Fire Department. He went on to serve as president of the Professional Fire Fighters Union of Indiana, IAFF 8th District vice president, and General Secretary-Treasurer from 2010 until his retirement in 2016.

Tommy said he wanted to be remembered as someone who helped people. Across nearly five decades of service to our union, he did exactly that – improving the lives of countless fire fighters, retirees, and their families.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Barb; their children, Stephanie, Thomas, Joseph (Madison), and Claire; his grandson, Benjamin; and all who knew and loved him.

As we gather this week to celebrate the lives, service, and brotherhood of our fallen, let us not lose sight of why we are here.

Right now, in Memorial Park, their names are being spoken, their sacrifices are being honored, and their families are being reminded that they do not carry this loss alone.

The most important part of this week is happening right now.

Honor the fallen. Support their families. Never forget.
