David Harry Milman QC
Beloved husband, father and grandfather passed away after a long illness in Ottawa on January 9, 2022. His good humor, negotiating skills and enthusiasm as a traveling companion and life partner have made his life with Valerie Burton a joy.
He started a muffin business in France and generated a market for a product that was not well known there at the time, which resulted in sales to the Accor Group and to Fauchon, Paris. After moving to Ottawa, he also organized grocery stores and Byward Market vendors to donate fruits and vegetables to complement the food bank's efforts for Good Neighbor's House patrons, and he picked up and helped distribute the food.
Special thanks to Drs Jeejeebhoy (Toronto) and Akbari (Ottawa) for their special care and compassion.
He will be sadly missed by his wife Valerie Burton, his children Warren (Andrea), Lisa, Tara (Paul), Dan (Gabby), his grandchildren Eleanor (Ben), Rebecca, Nathaniel, Nicholas, Patrick and Jack, and his niece Judy (Leonard), other family members and friends.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Plan International or the charity of your choice. Thank you.
