Also mourning his passing are his sisters, Eva (Frank) Sissons and Isabelle Armstrong of Portage la Prairie and Lila (Gerry) Cavers of Crofton, B.C., and by many nieces and nephews. Bert was predeceased by his parents, Hannah and Gordon McMillan; his eldest son Lorne McMillan in 1998; his brothers, Donald and Douglas McMillan and his sister Ellen Cottam. Bert was born and raised in Bagot, Man. He came to Winnipeg at the age of 16 to work for the Canadian Pacific Railway, where he worked his way up to locomotive engineer until his retirement in 1986. Our dad loved sports and coached Little League baseball when his boys were young. He loved bingo, the slots and cribbage with the Seniors Club on Queen Street and enjoyed his many trips to Barbados and the southern U.S. We will miss him.
