Gary, for sure will miss your friendship and smile! As you know, Roger and I are in Italy and won’t be here the day of your funeral. As it happens we are in Turin (Torino) that day. As we are on a pilgrimage, we are celebrating mass daily in a different parish. Some things happen for a reason, and we discovered today (we leave tomorrow) the mass will be at St. John Bosco, the Basilica of Maria Ausiliatrice where we will see the tombs of St.John Bosco. We will be visiting the Church of St. John the Evangelist where Don Bosco started his second oratory in the city. For those, not aware, this is the name of Lorraine and Gary’s church here in Edmonton.
We are travelling with Father Joseph Vadassery, Rector of Corpus Christi Catholic Parish (Millwoods). He will be conducting mass in Gary’s name and Roger has been asked to do a reading (in his Oilers jersey in honour of Gary!) We will have it video taped to share with the family…. Love and prayers to you all……..Cheryl and Roger
Will always remember Gary, just like your photo. Smiling and laughing and loving life. A Kind and caring man who loved his family and friends. Loved how he took chances in businesses, not always benefiting his family. But at least he tried. Music and art a big part of his life. Vic and I will miss him. ❤️
Our sincere condolences Lorraine & Family.
Our deapest condoléances to you Lorraine and family. We remember Gary as a very happy person who enjoyed life. We will offer masses in Falher. Jeannine & Roland

Gary was Blessed with having a ‘Wonderful Common Touch’ for all he met. His infectious smile and genial nature was ‘All Welcoming’! He was a fellow Greyhounder, and Parishoner at St. John Bosco. It will be strange, to no longer see, him and Lorraine together. My deepest sympathies to Lorraine, Family & Friends.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Miller. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We will definitely miss seeing him at the campground next summer.
