MILLIGAN, Arnold Thomas George
Born September 24th, 1924, passed away gently July 30th, 2003, in Campbell
River. Arnold is survived by his wife Cecile; sister Margaret; son Guy;

Soren, Meghan, and Ruth; great-grandchild Xenia; brothers-in-law Maurice and
Marcel, step-sister Micky, step-brother Malcolm, and nieces Joanne, Jacqui,
Jill, and Janet. Raised in Vancouver and having worked in Quebec and the
Queen Charlotte Islands, he spent most of his adult life working in logging
operations in coastal BC and Alaska, retiring to Campbell River in 1993.
Remembered for his many endearing qualities- particularly his good humor,
generosity, love of the outdoors and animals, industry, innovation, and
curiosity- he will be missed dearly by many whose lives he touched. No
service will be held; instead, a gathering of family and friends will
celebrate his life privately. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to
the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
