Welcome to the Story of Louis Aloysius Miller Jr.

Born: 13 May 1931 or 1932
Died: 3 January 1996
Buried: Memorial Park Cemetery, Indianapolis, Indiana

He was born twice, according to the records. In two different years, and possibly in two different Kentucky towns. His childhood was marked by the kind of loss you don’t always survive—but somehow, he did. He may have spent his earliest years in the halls of St. Thomas Orphanage, separated from his sister Mary Ray, who was placed in St. Vincent’s across the city. They were reclaimed by their mother, but the shadows never quite let go.

Louis Jr. grew up to serve in the Air Force, marry, and father ten children. And then, he left.

But he didn’t vanish—not really. He kept writing. He kept sending money. He kept trying, in his own quiet, complicated way.

He was a tinkerer, an inventor, a man of codes and circuits. He helped build a computer poker game from scratch, made cabinets by hand, and left faint digital fingerprints in places no one expected to find him.

We may never untangle all the knots in his story. But that’s what this space is for.
