Within five days of returning from Colorado he was drafted into the US Army to serve in Korea for three years. When his military tour of duty ended, he returned to Utah to his childhood home on Carterville Road, Orem. He met and married Maxine Duke of Orem, Utah on December 2, 1960 in the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. He supported his wife and ten children as a stonemason. As a craftsman stonemason he spent six years building the Manti Temple Visitor Center and restoring old stone work previously done on the Manti Temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His business eventually gained his own namesake, Miller Stone, and became well known for his unique, artistic, and premium stone work.
