Obituary of Benjamin Calhoun Millett

Born upstairs, at home in West Quaco, NB on September 21, 1930, Benjamin Calhoun Millett, the son of the late Rev. John Stanley and Eleanor (Robinson) Millett, was delivered into this world by a village midwife and her 12 year old assistant, who reported it was a rainy and windy night. With acknowledgement of a life well lived, his family wishes to announce that Ben died peacefully at the age of 87 on Thursday, June 28, 2018 in Willow House at the Loch Lomond Village, his home for the past 3 years. Ben was predeceased by his wife Betty. He is survived by his brother Robert and his 7 children: Linda (Rick), Ben Jr., David (Angela), Patricia, Susan (David), John and Catherine, 17 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, along with many nieces, nephews and members of his extended family and friends. A grateful "Thanks" to the staff on Willow, who provided exceptional care that allowed family to draw comfort in their absence. Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424) where family and friends are invited to visit on Sunday, July 8 from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM at which time a Celebration of Ben’s Life will take place from Brenan’s Funeral Home Chapel. Interment to take place at Fernhill Cemetery at a later date. For those who wish, remembrances may be made to Romero House, your local food bank or to the Recreation Department of the Loch Lomond Village. Benjamin was a polished man, who placed high importance in attending any event wearing formal attire and appearing well put-together. In honour of his legacy, we ask that everyone dresses in a fashion that would make him proud. "Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching" ~ C.S. Lewis
