                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 12, 2015

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Dr. Dane A. Miller, a pioneer in his field and a remarkable Hoosier.
  Dane was a loving and devoted husband to his wife of 48 years, Mary 
Louise. Respected and beloved by his colleagues, Dane revolutionized 
the orthopedic industry when he co-founded Biomet. There, he served as 
the company's CEO for 29 years, increasing the number of Biomet 
employees from just eight to more than 6,000 during his tenure. In his 
spare time, Dane loved helping others and was able to give back to his 
community by serving both as Director of Kosciusko Community Hospital 
and as a member of the President's Council for Grace College and 
Seminary.
  Dane Miller was also my friend, and I am grateful for his support of 
my career. Like so many other elected leaders in Indiana over the last 
several decades, I could always count on Dane for wise counsel and a 
straight answer. He will be missed.
  Today, it is my privilege to honor the life of Dane A. Miller. My 
thoughts and prayers go out to Dane's family, and may God comfort those 
he left behind with His peace and strength.
