Obituary

On February 2, in his 82 nd year, we said goodbye to James (Jim) Miller, a very dear husband, father, granddad, uncle and friend. Jim came to Canada in 1962 from bonnie Scotland. A proud Canadian from the moment he stepped off the ship, he enjoyed a very successful career starting in the art department of the Montreal Star and eventually became publisher of MacLean's Magazine.

Jim was a devout golfer and long time member of the Oakville Golf Club where he spent countless days chasing the little white ball with his golf buddies, the Gazoonies. Jim hated the cold and spent the last 30 winters escaping to the Bahamas where he and his wife Maureen enjoyed the sun, warmth and the company of many good friends. Back here in Canada, Jim's circle of close friends and family were the biggest part of his life. And, although he didn't see them often, his family and lifelong friends in the UK were also very dear to him. Jim was happiest when surrounded by both his immediate and beloved extended family, and cherished the time when everyone was together having fun.

Jim will be greatly missed by his wife Maureen (née Rason), children Kirstie (Mike), Sarah (Mike) and Matthew (Jeany) and his seven grandchildren, Alex, James, Kate, Tess, Marcus, Theo and Lauren.

We are grateful for the wonderful care received at Mount Sinai Hospital and Ian Anderson House. Donations, if desired, may be sent to Ian Anderson House.

In accordance with his wishes there will be no funeral. Instead, the family will hold a gathering at the Oakville Golf Club at a date to be announced where friends and family can raise a glass to a life very well lived, and a man very well loved.
