We Remember

Miller, Robert

August 11, 1917 — August 18, 2011

MILLER, John Robert

1917 – 2011

On August 18, 2011 at the age of 94, Robert passed quietly into the arms of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  He will be sadly missed by his wife Gertrude, step-daughters Margaret (Don) McLellan and Susan Clark, step-grandchildren Sharalynn Clark, David (Emily) Clark, Trevor (Erin) McLellan, and Gina (Lucas) Morel, seven great-grandchildren, niece Lydia (Bill) Redden in Nova Scotia and many other nieces, nephews and cousins across the country.  Robert was predeceased by his parents, Burpee and Hattie Miller and his brothers Charlie and George.  Robert was born on the family farm in Upper Stewiacke, NS.  He lived in that area for 44 years, doing farm work, logging, mill work and trucking.  In 1961 he moved with his widowed mother to the Okanagan to be with family here.  Robert worked at Gorman’s mill and then at Stewart Brothers’ Nursery until he retired in 1981.  He devotedly cared for his mother until she passed away at age 98.  As a 67 year old bachelor, he married the love of his life, Trudy Black. They had 27 happy years together; they loved and cared for each other.  The family thanks the staff at Joseph Benjamin Residence for the excellent care he has received over the past years.  Sincere thanks also to the doctors and nurses of KGH – 4 East.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Robert’s memory may be made to a missionary of your choice through MSC, 101 Amber Street, Unit 16, Markham, ON, L3R 3B2.  A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 2:00 pm at the Highway Gospel Hall, 2549 Hebert Road, West Kelowna, BC.  Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
