MILLER: Robert (Bob) Arnold Miller passed away peacefully at the Brandon Regional Health Centre on Wednesday, December 20, 2017 at the age of 74 years. Bob was born on June 25, 1943 in Barrie, ON. Bob grew up in Winnipeg, moved to Brandon in 1964 and lived briefly in Thunder Bay, ON, where he met Pat and returned to Brandon in 1970.

In his later years, Bob was a non-playing supporter and member of the Brandon Barbarians Rugby Football Club and in 2013 became the first inductee into the Western Manitoba High School Rugby Association Hall of Fame. Bob always had a camera ready to take pictures, which we will always be thankful for. Bob retired from Wyeth/Ayerst (now Pfizer) for health reasons.
