Obituary of Larry Franklin Millar

Larry Franklin Millar, born May 2, 1949, passed away suddenly on October 17, 2024. He was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Larry is predeceased by his cherished wife, Julie Millar (2013), and his daughter, Jody Millar (2009). He is survived by his son, Lawrence, and his grandchildren: Chelsea (Wes), Bailey (Jack), Katreana, Brandon, and Lawson, along with his great-grandson, Benson. He also leaves behind many loving brothers and sisters.

A dedicated worker, Larry retired as a foreman from Stelco over thirty years ago. He had a passion for fishing and hunting, and was always up for a chat over coffee. Larry and Julia enjoyed countless road trips across the United States, creating memories that will last forever. Known for his generosity, he would give the shirt off his back and was always willing to lend a hand. Larry was also an avid collector, building a unique assortment of beer bottles and phone books from the cities he visited.

In honor of Larry’s memory, donations may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) or the Niagara Peninsula Foundation for Children.

In keeping with Larry's wishes, cremation has taken place and arrangements are entrusted to Essentials Cremation and Burial Services.

How sad to have come across this obituary. Larry&Julie were two of the sweetest people our family had the privilege of knowing. It was in the early 80’s when my wife’s parents met this couple in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Subsequently they accepted an invitation to extend their visit in Hobbs, New Mexico. which is where we got to know the Millar’s. That was the first of many trips Larry&Julie made to New Mexico with their last visit in the summer of 1994 for the birth of our youngest child. In September of 2006 my job took me to Pennsylvania which gave me my last opportunity to see this most gracious couple. When I arrived their home on that Saturday evening they had prepared a feast for several and it was just the three of us. This was just one occasion of many where I witnessed how special they are/were. So many memories of Julie&Larry and we were over 1,700 mi / 2,770 km apart.
