We regret to advise of the death of Master Corporal Richard Millner (Retd) on 24 September 2011 at the Chilliwack General Hospital after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Camp Lister, BC in 1937, Richard was a Heavy Equipment Operator often known as "Dog". He is well remembered for his skills as an Operator and the contributions that he made to major construction projects like the Chilliwack Lake Road and the Eagle River Bridge.
Richard retired from the Canadian Military Engineers in 1986. In retirement, he was a strong supporter of all things Sapper and regularly attended the Retired Sapper Reunions and the Royal Canadian Engineer lunches and dinners.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Alano Club, 46035 Victoria Ave., Chilliwack on Saturday, 1 October at 1:00 pm. Interment will take place in Lister, BC on Saturday, 8 October, t 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.
