Spreading Christmas joy at Mooseheart

BATAVIA – Whenever Christmas rolled around, Bob Miller would listen to his father reflect on melancholy memories of the holiday.

His father, Henry, grew up as an orphan and never was adopted. And he never got any Christmas gifts growing up, either. Miller said he always found that bothersome, and shortly after his father died, he started the tradition of raising money to buy gifts for children at Mooseheart Child City and School, near Batavia.

“I do it in memory of my dad,” he said. “I think he’d be proud.”
