Born in Carbondale, he was the son of the late James and Beatrice Wagner Milliner, Sr. and served his country proudly in the United States Air Force as a fireman.  He grew up in NYC, lived in Hunlock Creek and Larksville.

He was a delivery driver for many businesses, including Buzzy's Bazaar and loved to drive.  He would take people to the airports, dr appointments and anywhere they wanted to go.  He was a jack of all trades and in his younger years enjoyed hunting and scuba diving.  Jim loved animals and enjoyed going to dog shows with the love of his life Carol, who died this past February.  He truly was heartbroken from Carol's death.  He and Carol loved the Bloomsburg Fair and would camp there the entire week of the fair, enjoying the sights, animals and food every day.
