MILLER,
Harry
Idris "
Tony"
Actor, husband, father, grandfather, painter, Bay Street man.
Born February 26, 1910, in Dolgellau, Wales. Died March 27 in
Toronto of natural causes, aged 97.

Tony once told us he remembered the sound of bells ringing in
his village announcing the end of the First World War. He was
the son of hardworking English parents and had two sisters who
by all accounts spoiled him.
Soon after he graduated from school in 1926, he was told to report
to The Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland
Ltd. for his first job.
It lasted only months, since he caught the acting bug and went
on to pursue his passion in theatres across England. It landed
him on stage in London at the Old Vic Theatre with the likes
of Peter Ustinov, Laurence Olivier and Alec Guinness. When he
started onstage, he assumed the name Anthony
HULME, which led
to his being called Tony offstage.
During this time he met his first wife, Eve, also an actor. By
the late 1930s he'd ventured into film. But then the war broke
out, and Tony joined the Royal Air Force as a radio operator
and communicator (he demobilized as a flight lieutenant).
Eventually, he was posted overseas to Naples, where he met a
beautiful and lively young lady, Kay, who became his second wife.
Returning to England after the war, they married and had two
children, Christopher and Carol. Within a few years, Tony had
returned to the theatre and to film; he played the character
Paul Temple in several films (a sort of precursor to The Saint
series).
In the mid-1950s, Tony and Kay decided to immigrate to Canada
and a new life. He began working for a mining company on Bay
Street in Toronto. As we grew up north of the city, we watched
our father commute to work and back, eat supper, then be off
to his first true love - the theatre. He was a founding member
of Theatre Aurora and The Curtain Club theatre in Richmond Hill,
Ontario Tony loved the countryside and the garden. He was happiest
building things such as stage sets or extensions to our homes.
In the early 1970s, Tony and Kay parted company after 28 years.
He moved to Toronto, where he continued to be active in theatre,
television and radio while working on Bay Street.
Soon he met his third wife, Joanne, a vivacious and outgoing
lady. They travelled, produced theatre, entertained and enjoyed
life to its fullest. He renewed his love of painting, exhibiting
in Toronto.
After more than 30 years, Joanne bid farewell to her soulmate
this spring. The theatre has gone dark for this actor. He played
many roles, all of them with enthusiasm led by a passion for
knowledge. "Life well-spent is long."
Carol A. MILLER is Tony's daughter.
