Obituary
It is with great sadness that the Miller family announce the peaceful passing of JOHN KEITH MILLER, on Sunday August 7th, 2022 at the Village of Humber Heights in Toronto, at the age of 91. He will be deeply missed by Doreen, his wife of 64 years, daughters Krista (Jeff), Andrea (Deborah) and son Jeff, granddaughter Rachel (Brandon) and sister-in-law Brenda and fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, sister-in-law Anne and Jeffcoat Drive neighbours. Keith is predeceased by his parents, Ada and Norman, and his four brothers, Raymond, Louis, Kenneth and Eugene. Keith and his brother helped run a busy and successful metal polishing firm in Rexdale for many years. After retiring in 2001, he and his wife discovered the joys of daily swimming with many new friends at Frank McKechnie and Gus Ryder Pools in Mississauga and Toronto.
Keith was a trusted friend and confidant and a world-renowned record collector, researcher and contributor to countless projects supporting and promoting 1920s-30s jazz and hot dance band music. He was a proud founding member of the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (I.A.J.R.C.) and the ‘Toronto 78 Spinners’ record collector club. He was an enthusiastic correspondent to dozens of collectors and researchers around the world. He and his passionate musical interests, as well as his always impressive moves on the dance floor, will be remembered fondly by his family, friends and many dance partners.
Very special thanks to the remarkable staff on Emma’s Village at the Village of Humber Heights. In lieu of flowers, and in memory of Keith’s generous spirit, the family request that you take a moment tomorrow or the next day to extend a kindness or good deed to someone close or anyone who may need a little help.
A Celebration of Keith Miller’s life will be held in Toronto in late September.
Good night, Papa.
