After a long and happy life, David Graeme Miller passed away on Friday August 18 2023, at the age of 91 years.
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!

Pat……I was so sorry to see that Dave has passed away. Joan McKane phoned me this morning to tell me. Yes, he did have a good long life. I hope that you are still keeping well.

Hi Pat,
It seems like we attended your 50th wedding anniversary just yesterday. Oh, so many memories of our Gordon Head neighbourhood, especially Little League, Dave and Larry curling together at the Racquet Club, good friendly neighbours everywhere. Every phone call through the years that was answered by Dave resulted in a cheerful chat, even though Dave knew it was you I was seeking. I’m sure your friends and neighbours in your ‘new’ neighbourhood will be there for you at this time.
So sorry for your loss . Sending the family loads of love , prayers and great memories of your dad . Tammy Hatter
He was such a good man and I came to know him at an early stage of adulthood. He was funny, caring, social, welcoming, and a loving husband/best friend to your lovely Mom. As well, truly a community minded person.
My early memories of the kitchen, living room and deck gatherings, of his willingness to help in so many ways, and the visits to see his Mom and Dad, are etched in my memory. We will hug on Friday!
