In memory of

Carl Arthur Mills CD, P. Eng.

November 25, 1938 - March 18, 2019

Born in London, ON, Carl Arthur Mills is survived by his loving wife, Sophia, and son, Milosh (Megan). In his early life Carl found direction in friends and mentors found at church, and during his high school years. Later he served with 27 Air Cadets, RCAF Auxiliary 420 (F) and 2420 AC&W Squadrons, and 400 Air Reserve Squadron in Toronto. Upon graduating from University of Waterloo (’65, P Eng), Carl began his electrical engineering career, and rejoined the RCAF reserves in Toronto. He left the reserves in 1983 as Lieutenant Colonel. After retirement he shared his vast knowledge of Canadian military history through lectures, art initiatives and memorial projects designed to honour the past, and to inspire future generations of military historians. His book, Banshees in the Royal Canadian Navy (Banshee Publication, 1991), represents his deep commitment to Canadian military history. Carl will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

May St. Peter grant our dear friend a speedy entry through the pearly gates where I trust he will find much peace and love. jMay Sophia and Milosh find comfort in his footsteps while continuing their earthly journey.

My sincere condolences to Sophia , Family and Friends.
Having known Carl since 1964, he was always supportive, helpful, honest and a man of integrity. He was also a real Patriot, an avid supporter of 400 Sqn. and the Military as a whole. I have many great memories of Carl, especially at the countless Summer and Winter Exercises we took part in. There were times when he could have thrown the book at us, but he gave us the benefit of doubt and overlooked the incident. That was Carl, a great man, a great Officer , a great leader and a Great Human Being..
He will be sadly missed by all of us who had the privilege of having known him.
Per Ardua Ad Astra, may you rest in peace my friend.
Chuck..
