Dave will be lovingly remembered by Pat, his tolerant wife of 71 years (or maybe Dave was the tolerant one!); his daughter, Linda (Leonard) Scharbach; sons Ted and Steve; his grandchildren Ross and Neil Scharbach, Graeme Miller, Ben Graham, Meaghan and Katie Miller; great grandson Leo Graham; and his sisters-in-law, Adrien Thomas and Joyce Robinson. Dave was predeceased by his brother Don Robinson; daughter-in-law Pippa Miller; and sister-in-law Elaine Abbott.
Dave retired from Ocean Cement in 1993, after 40 years of working for them. Dave was involved with VITRA from 1953-1965; Gordon Head Little League 1965-1980; Vantreight soccer 1975-1988; minor hockey 1969-1974; Juandering Wheels Camping Group and 292 Seniors Travel and Social Group.
He was a busy guy!

Thinking of you all and remembering Dave’s smile and infectious laugh.
He will be missed and remembered fondly.
I didn’t get to enjoy Dave’s company as much as most but the few times I did I always felt he was full of life and so much fun to be around. Laughter was always present when Dave was telling as story.
Glad he lived long and good life.
My thoughts and best wishes go out to the whole family.
I’m praying for you all at this difficult time. You are an amazingly wonderful family! I loved Mr. Miller, and all the fun we had as kids playing at your home. I’m looking forward to going over some fun memories on Friday with you all.
