Harvey Miller Obituary
MILLER, Harvey Mayer (Ph.D) Born July 9, 1936, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With the dignity and incredible courage with which he lived, and surrounded by his wife, Carole, and his children, Adam and Jenny, in their home on Friday, October 21, 2005. Harvey took great joy in the company of his family and Carole's, his friends and those of his children, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A man of the theatre scholar, teacher, actor, director Harvey was respected and loved by his colleagues and friends, both during his more than thirty years of tenure at the University of Victoria and his work and travels abroad, in New York, and throughout the Pacific Northwest. An adoring and adored husband and father, he delighted in his family, and found them the focus of his life, and the center of his resolve to live. Harvey had tremendous gratitude for his doctors, and felt gifted by each day. A service at the University of Victoria Interfaith Chapel will take place Sunday at 2p.m. Donations may be made in Harvey's name to the British Columbia Transplant Foundation, or to the Victoria Hospice Society. 165637

Harvey was a dear mentor. I think often about his work on God's Country (1996) and his desire to "truth tell" through his art. This work impacted me significantly. My condolences to his loved ones.

I remember the fun and laughter we had together at Cedar Hill and the times I visited at your home, enjoying the laughter and good spirit of Harvey in his most loving way towards his family.

I am very sorry to hear of Dr. Miller's death. I was a student in the Department of Theatre from 1973 to 1975. Dr. Miller's theatre history course was a demanding one -- but I will never forget his brilliance as a lecturer and his kindness as a human being. My sincere sympathy to his family.
