He worked various jobs from a very young age. He worked in Concessions at Maple Leaf Gardens, Boys Clubs of Canada with his friend Rick McCarthy, Club Coffee, CP Express, DCL and lastly for the Toronto Transit Commission. He began as an Operator driving Streetcars out of Russell Division. After a few years he moved on to operate Subway and LRT trains, buses out of Birchmount Division, Collectors, Supply and finally Revenue. He enjoyed interacting with the public, making his job fun by calling out the stops, making funny little jokes and brightened people's day with a smile and a few kind words. When his health started to fail he was forced to retire with 29 years of service. He received many accommodations and customer service awards. He loved bowling and played in many leagues. He also enjoyed playing golf and watching the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays play.

He will be remembered by his siblings, Alicia, Laurie and Debra McMillen and brother-in-law Doug Pedersen. He is now at rest with his parents and his brother Gerrard who preceded him in death.

He cared deeply for his family, helping when and how he could no matter the circumstances. He took his roles as big brother, husband and father very seriously and watched out for all of us. He will be loved, remembered and missed dearly.
