MILLER, Zavie On Monday, January 9 2012, in his seventy-fourth year, Zavie closed his eyes for the last time with his girls by his side, after a courageous and determined eight-month battle. Beloved husband and life partner of Ida for forty-five years, treasured father of Mara and Sandra Miller, cherished brother of Joyce Miller and lifelong friend of many. Predeceased by his father Samuel Miller, mother Dora Miller (nee Fefergrad) and brother Lionel Miller. Zavie was an unfailingly devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. He touched the lives of countless people through his kindness, his photography, his calligraphy, his involvement with the PCG and the NGC, the SOGH and his work with Zavie's Zero Club which supports and advocates for members of the CML community worldwide. His zany sense of humour, fierce love and respect for life are a legacy that will remain in our hearts forever. Zavie's girls would like to thank all the friends and family who have been by our side throughout every step of this journey.
