About
Richard Miller devoted his life to doing good work, to his family, and to the simple things that truly matter.
A roofing entrepreneur in the Toronto region for more than three decades, he was known for his precision, reliability, and deep respect for his clients. For Bernard, every roof was far more than just a job—it was a responsibility, a commitment to the families who lived beneath it.
A devoted family man, he shared his life with his partner for many years. Together, they built a close-knit family, surrounded by their two children and later their three grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and joy.
Outside of work, Richard cherished quiet moments: time at the cottage, family meals, and stories shared around the table. He found happiness in simplicity and in being close to his loved ones.
Richard leaves behind the image of an authentic, hardworking man deeply rooted in his values. His life left a lasting mark not only on those who knew him, but also on the many homes he helped protect over the years.
He will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the chance to cross his path.

Buddy, thank you for all the great memories we shared together. I just wish I’d taken the time to call you more often while I still had the chance. Until we meet again.
Dad, you’ll always be someone I look up to. Ever since I was a kid, you’ve been such a huge inspiration in my life. I just hope you’re still watching over me from wherever you are.
My brother was truly one of a kind — a genuine soul with the biggest heart. I wanted to share this memory of us in Cuba back in 1965. I’m going to miss you more than words can say, brother. Love you always. ❤️
Julia Miller
