Gordon’s Obituary
MILLER, Gordon Wilfred ~ of Meadowvale. On Thursday, January 28, 2021, the world lost a great man after his hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer. He was more than a soldier, airman, veteran or avid outdoorsman. He was the husband and best friend of more than 46 years to Catherine “Cathy” whom he shared all his life’s adventures. He was also the devoted dad and role model to Amanda (Iain) and Melinda, passing on his great love for the outdoors, camping and the value of hard work. But his favourite role of all was likely being the loving grumpa to Elizabeth and Stewart, whom he loved to watch on the ice or share the fun of feeding fish on snorkelling adventures. And not to be forgotten, his warm lap will be fondly remembered and missed by his cat and nap partner, Jenny. While born in Digby and always a true Nova Scotian at heart, Gordon’s long and distinguished military career gave him the opportunity to live in Kingston, ON (1963-65); Gagetown, NB (1965-66, 1984-88); Soest (1966-69); Montreal, QC (1969-74); Chatham, NB (1974-78); Lahr (1978-81); Wainwright, AB (1981-84); Gagetown, NB (1984-88); Greenwood, NS (1988-97, 2000-21); and, Comox, BC (1997-2000). Following his retirement in 2001, he pursued his dream of working in the Arctic and his family will treasure his stories of polar bear spotting across the great white north. His time in uniform likely cemented his ability to fix anything, willingness to help those around him, the stamina to enjoy his long bike rides, and determination that the water is never too cold for a swim. Gordon is also survived by his brother, Roy (Elaine); twin sister, Greta (Larry); baby sister, Dianne; sister-in-law, Marlene; and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Wilfred and Margaret, and brother, Glenn. As per Gordon’s wishes, a cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will follow at a later date. Those who wish to honour Gordon can make a donation in his name to the Salvation Army. Arrangements have been entrusted to Middleton Funeral Home, 398 Main Street, toll free 1-855-825-3448.
