With great sadness the family announces the sudden passing of Robert Lloyd Millar, our beloved dad, brother, gramps and great grandpa on February 18, 2025, at the age of 81. Bob was predeceased by his cherished wife Marlene, much-loved son Russ, his parents, Jim and Agnes Millar, and siblings: Ollie, Arla, Arnold, Angus, Ray and Alice.
Bob was raised in Harperville, Manitoba and married the love of his life Marlene Mason on September 23, 1961. Dad will be deeply missed by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren – son: Mitch & Julie, Marri & Leif, Jenna & Braden (Arlo, Mickey), Lannea & Devan; son: Bobe & Joanne, Richard, Dennis & Katie (Macie), Derek & Jenna, Chad & Alex; daughter: Theresa & Stuart, Jackie & Rocky (Malory, Leonidas, Carly, Vanessa, Maximus), Shawn (Leighton, Brittin, Everly), Curtis & Sharmanda (Annaleigh), Jason & Erinn, Austin & Mackenzie, Tyson, Avery; son: Tim & Sandra, Heidi. Also mourning his loss are his sisters Grace and Bernice (Louis), brother-in-law Ken (Sylvia), numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many long-time friends.
Mum and Dad had a wonderful marriage, and their strong bond of love was felt by each family member. They were always together, often surrounded by family and friends around the kitchen table. They had mutual interests which included their passion for horses and travelled often to the World Horse Show in Oklahoma. Their strong work ethic was evident on the farm and while running the Oak Point Chalet. In recent years, dad enjoyed weekend car shows throughout the province and tinkering in his garage with a particular interest in his 1930 Ford Model A. He occasionally strummed on his guitar; it was a real treat when he did this with his brother Ray. Dad appreciated the time spent with his family over a meal or a joyful celebration. He was a respected Oak Point community member, attending various community events and supporting folks who needed his help. He loved his grandchildren, and they enjoyed discussing and laughing about his many ‘grampa-isms’ with each other.
Dad lost a little bit of himself when mum died. As part of his will, on a piece of paper, in his beautiful penmanship, he made a very special request. Dad stated that it was important to have his ashes and mum’s ashes placed in the same urn so that they would be together forever.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday April 5th at 2:00 p.m. at the Oak Point Hall in Oak Point, Manitoba. If desired, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. Ken Loehmer Funeral Services in care of arrangements.

With sincere condolences from the whole Brodsky family. This message is from Rick. To the family of Bob Millar I was proud to call Bob a friend although we fell out of touch over the years. We first met around 1974, on a Manitoba Hydro project now called Limestone Generating Station. He was a heavy duty mechanic and there were none better. He proved that over the years as we worked on several more projects. His good humor and demeanor was only exceeded by his mechanical expertise. He was our shop foreman in Saskatoon for a time as well as still going out to jobs where his mechanical skill was needed to keep our equipment running and in top notch shape. You could not have asked for a better man to work with and the tougher the job the more he shined. Bob and I connected a time or two in Brandon when our hockey team, the Saskatoon Blades, played the Wheatkings. The last time I visited with him he was starting to slow down a bit with the horses and Mitch was taking over. It was so wonderful to visit with Bob, Marlene and Mitch on that trip. - Posted by: Brodsky Famiky (Friend) on: Mar 01, 2025
