Andrew John Miller of Pointe Claire, Quebec, died suddenly the evening of September 4th, 2009, of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, leaving behind his wife of eighteen years, Kate Orland Bere, and their children Maddi Miller, Spenser Miller of Pointe Claire, and Jason and Amy Stanbury of Brucefield, Ontario. Andrew was born at Lachine General Hospital on November 10th, 1959, and lived in Dorval until he was almost four, moving to Burnaby, B.C.; Fort William, Ontario, and back to Dorval at age 13 where he graduated from JXXIII in 1976. After a year of CEGEP, Andrew moved with his family to North Vancouver, and his extensive studies and research in the literary field took him to many places in Canada and the United States. An associate professor of English Literature at Universite de Montreal, Andrew was a scholar of the Modernist period and a published author.

Andrew was so happy to be back in his beloved Montreal, and celebrated his 1667 ancestral French roots to Ile d'Orleans near Quebec City, his Irish roots to Montreal in 1824 and then Cookstown Onario in 1825, and other Slovakian, Scottish, Finnish, and Swedish roots traced back in one line for over 2400 years.
