Born in Dunkirk, Miller began his broadcasting career in 1955 as a summer replacement on WBEN radio and television calling high school sports. He became the Voice of the Bills during the team’s inaugural season in 1960. In addition to broadcasting Bills games, he called games for the NBA’s Buffalo Braves from 1971 to 1977. He also served as the sports director for WIVB-TV and was a weather reporter and a game show host.

From the preseason and through the regular season games, you’ll be able to see where his name is displayed proudly on the wall. Take a look at the Bills Wall of Fame, and when you see his name, raise your glass and know that he's smiling down on the Ralph. R.I.P. Van.
