MILLER, REGINALD J. - The death of Reginald J. Miller, loving husband of Jennie (Dunlop) occurred on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Reg was born on December 7, 1927 in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, the only child of the late James Miller and Anna (Reinsborough). Reg's father died in a tragic mill accident when Reg was just four months of age. Reg and his mother moved back to the Miramichi area where he grew up. He attended St. Thomas University before moving to Saint John, where he was employed in the automotive industry for many years. He retired from his position as a purchasing agent with Commercial Equipment in 1992. Reg was a "perfect" son to his mother Anna, and it was Anna who introduced him to Jennie. They married in 1954. Reg was a loving father to Anne (William) Stroud, Susan Gorham, Linda (Donald) LeBlanc, James, Gary, Paul and Jane (Scott) Johnson. Reg took great pleasure in spending time with his 10 grandchildren, Matthew, Anna, Robert, Leah, Ben, Kevin, Sarah, Peter, Mark and Christopher, and his great grandchildren, Eli and Eve. Reg was predeceased by his stepfather, Carroll Doran, and his son-in-law Stewart Gorham. Reg had a lifelong passion for cars, first driving in the yard in Chatham at the young age of seven. He enjoyed working on cars all his life, and was involved with stock car racing for many years, as a pit crew chief. Reg was able to fix almost anything. He was an avid sports fan, playing basketball and rugby in his youth, and golf as an adult. He was a great fan of the Montreal Expos, and Toronto Maple Leafs, and more recently, of the Saint John Seadogs. Reg looked forward to completing the daily crossword puzzles in the newspaper. He and Jennie enjoyed spending summers at their trailer at the T.N.T. Campground in Coles Island, where they made many great friends. Like his mother before him, Reg was a person of great faith. He was a longtime member of St. Joachim's Parish. Reg's family are deeply appreciative of the care he received from the Extra-Mural Team at home, and from the staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Reg is resting at Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road, Saint John (646-2424) with visiting on Thursday, July 31 between 7 to 9pm and on Friday, August 1 between 2 to 4pm and 7 to 9 pm. A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated from St. Joachim's Church on Saturday, August 2 at 10am. Interment will follow in St. Joseph's Cemetery. The family would appreciate donations made to the St. Joachim's Church Building Fund, the Palliative Care Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital, or to the charity of the donor's choice. www.fundyfuneralhome.com.
