James Millar

MILLAR, James Silver (owner of the House of Scotland) April 19, 1927 - December 25, 2006 The family of Jim Millar wishes to announce his passing on Christmas morning, after a valiant five month struggle with cancer. Born in Glasgow, Scotland on April 19, 1927, Jim immigrated to Canada in the 1950's, however, as a proud (and stubborn) Scot, he never for a moment, lost sight of his roots. Pre-deceased by his second wife Audrey (MacLeod) of Ottawa, parents and sisters in Scotland, Jim will be lovingly remembered by sister Alexa Duncan (John) of the Isle of Arran, Scotland, daughters Tammie Millar-Wallace (Jeff) of Ottawa, Jamie Millar-Dixon of Vancouver, son Ian (Christine) of Stoney Creek, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As a beloved Papa to Kelsie and Taylor, and Opa to Ryan and Danielle, he will be sorely missed. The family is most grateful for the care and support received from Dr. Susan Gick, Home Palliative Care, Dr. Scott Laurie at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Dr. Benoit at the Neurology Unit of the Ottawa Civic Hospital, and John, who could always locate a soccer match for them to enjoy! We also wish to personally thank Dad's many close friends, acquaintances, the 151 bus stop club, House of Scotland customers and colleagues for their love, support and friendship. Friends may call at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean (between Bayshore Dr. and Baseline Rd.) on Sunday from 2 - 4 p.m. A memorial service will commence in the Chapel at 4:00 p.m., with a reception to celebrate his life to follow in the Maple Terrace Room. By respectful request, no flowers please however, in memoriam, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
