Zeno is survived by his loving wife Marga, his soulmate and life-long companion. He will be forever remembered with love and fondness by his two sons and two daughters-in-law, Gerald and Christina Miller, and Eric Miller and Ellen-Anne O'Donnell; and his grandchildren, Nadia and Patrick, who adored their Opa and shared many special times with him. He is also survived by his very dear sister Zita Fuchs of Kelowna, BC; as well as his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. Zeno was predeceased by his parents Edmund and Stephanie Miller, his brothers, Hugo and Victor, and his sister Trudy Person. Zeno was born on December 14, 1919 in Belchatow, Poland. He grew up in Zdunska-Wola and apprenticed as a metal worker. He was called to service in Europe during World War II, and was reunited with his family in Frankfurt, Germany after the war. Zeno moved to Calgary, AB in 1953, marrying Marga in 1954. Zeno worked as a welder at Barber Machinery for over twenty-five years, retiring in 1984. Zeno was a strong, quiet, and peaceful gentleman. He was sensitive, compassionate, patient, and kind. He enjoyed travelling with Marga, visiting family and friends, helping Christina and Gerald on projects at the cottage, watching Eric's and Patrick's hockey games, Nadia's dancing, and sharing quiet moments with Ellen-Anne. He enjoyed walks, cycling, gardening, skating, playing cards, and especially family gatherings. His family was his life. When amused, he would smile and his shoulders would shake, but when he did laugh, he laughed so hard that soon we were all laughing along with him.
