While being interviewed for a story on his retirement, which he preferred to call a change of jobs, Mr. Mills laughed as he told how he had returned to work after a few days off the week before to find his office completely empty, except for a "For Rent" sign.
Even after Mr. Mills retired, he often visited the squad room to trade barbs with whomever was around.
