MILLER Sydney John Howard August 7, 1914 - January 14, 2008
It is with sadness and great family loss that we announce the passing of Howard who was in his 94th year.
Howard was predeceased by Iva, his wife of almost 60 years, son Ken and brothers Bert and Doug.
He leaves his loving family: son Syd (Carol), daughter-in-law Evelyn, grandchildren .... and great-grandchildren ...... He is also survived by his brother Dave, sisters Helen and Margaret and several nieces and nephews.
Howard was born in Edmonton and raised in the Forest Heights area of the city. He married and continued to reside in Edmonton through to 1943. A career change during WWII brought Howard to the coast to assist in the war effort. He settled in Burnaby, became a shipwright and worked in several shipyards along the Fraser River, False Creek and Burrard Inlet. Howard was a fine craftsman and could work with wood or metal.
Howard and Iva enjoyed RVing and travelled across Canada.
He was community minded, and served as a scout master and was a support to those in need.
He was always an enthusiastic encourager to his grandchildren, and he loved to be a part of their accomplishments.
The family wishes to express its heartfelt apprecation for the excellent care and comfort provided by the staff at Howard's residence, Buchanan Lodge, in New Westminster. A special bonding between staff and Howard was evident throughout his stay but particularly during his recent illness.
A private family memorial service was held on January 18th at Buchanan Lodge. For those wishing to recognize Howard's passing donations can be made to Buchanan Lodge, 409 Blair Avenue, New Westminster, BC, V3L 4A4.
