MILLER, Wendall Wilmot ? 71, Windsor, passed away on Sunday, Sep-tember 30, 2012, in Hants Community Hospital, Windsor, with his family by his side. Born on September 10, 1941, in Upper Kennetcook, Hants Co., he was a son of the late Wilbert and Susan (MacAskill) Miller. Wendall will be well remembered as an avid outdoorsman, who enjoyed spending time at his hunting camp and woodlot in Upper Kennetcook. A loyal sports fan, he would often be found in the corner of many sports facilities enjoying his children's and grandchildren's ventures. His baseball career started at an early age in Hants County where he honed his skills as a pitcher and first baseman. He was well-known for power at the plate, eventually earning the nick-name
'Homerun Miller'. He continued playing competitive ball until well into his 40's, when his friends convinced him to give it up for the game of golf. He competed in many local tournaments and was a member of the Valley Seniors, which he enjoyed immensely. He especially enjoyed his Thursday golfing pals, Garnet, Luke and Ken. Wendall stayed busy in his retirement, after 37 years with Trans Canada Credit, writing poetry, completing woodworking projects and producing maple syrup at his sugar shack in Upper Kennetcook. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Jeannine Aub?; his children, Shelley (Hugh Fergusson), Oakfield; Greg (Susan), Lethbridge, Alta.; Dwayne (Jacquelyn), Falmouth; grandchildren, Nicole, Lauren, Andrew, Brad, Jon, Stephanie, Jessa, Jorelle (Joey Young), and Nolan; and great-granddaughter, Harlo Bella; brothers, Reg and Wayne (Lee); sisters, Elsie and Norma (Rollie); several nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by brothers, Robie, Reuben and Raymond; sisters, Beatrice, Marilyn and Marge. There will be no visitation by request. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, October 4, in Lindsay's Windsor Funeral Home Chapel, 194
King St., Windsor with Rev. Father Michael J. Walsh officiating. Interment will be held in St. John's Roman Catholic Church Cemetery, Wiley Avenue, Windsor. Donations in memory of Wendall may be made to the Red Cross Society, Palliative Care Unit of Hants Community Hospital or Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada.
