Biography

Bob was born in 1926[1][2]. He was the son of Ernie Milks and Millie Lonsdale[2]. Bob was baptized 3 Sep 1926 in Aylmer, Quebec[2].

Bob spent most of his early years in Aylmer Quebec. He graduated from Lisgar Collegiate Institute in Ottawa[3][4].

As a teen, Bob served as Scout Leader for the Aylmer, Quebec, troop while the adult leaders were serving in WWII. On his 18th birthday, Bob volunteered for the army. However, WWII recruitment was starting to wind down so the doctors were getting more particular. As Dad put it, "an attractive nurse came in to prep him for the medical so he sat up and puffed out his chest. Then the doctor put the stethoscope on him and commanded, 'Breathe in!' Failed the exam - sub-normal chest expansion"[3].

Bob attended Queen's University[3].

During university and through 1953, Bob worked a number of jobs:

  • Summer survey work in the north but quit mid-season because of the isolation and bugs[3].
  • Teller for the then Dominion Bank. One day Bob was asked to carry a sum of cash and cheques to the bank exchange and swap them for cheques drawn on Dominion Bank. Insurance required that the courier be armed so his boss put an unloaded gun in one of Bob's pockets and a few bullets in another with the instructions "Don't touch the gun! If held up, simply hand over the cash!" Dad stated he was never so nervous as he was that first time[3].
  • B.F. Goodrich[5]
  • E.B. Eddy Co.[6]

Circa 1946, Bob took a date to a dance, but she had used Bob to get into the dance then dumped him. Bob spotted a young lady, Audrey Smith, on the sidelines and they talked (and danced). This was the beginning of a relationship that resulted in 60+ years of marriage[3].

Bob and Audrey attended the same church in 1948[7].

Bob married Audrey Smith on 19 Feb 1949 by Banns at McLeod St. United Church at McLeod St. United Church[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Audrey and Bob had three children:

  1. Bev (Milks) Hobbs
  2. Gary Milks
  3. Lori (Milks) Yaremchuk

On 1 Jan 1954, Bob joined the executive staff of the Boy Scouts of Canada and he spent the rest of his career there.

  • District Commissioner in Victoria 1954-1958[19][20][21][22]
  • Field Executive in Toronto 1958-1959[23]
  • Headquarters in Ottawa from 1959 on. At HQ, he served as Director in Program, Relationships and Information Services[24], and in Communications Services.
  • He had to work every Scout Jamboree, often as Press Liaison.
  • Following a change of management at Scouts Canada, Dad retired on 30 Mar 1989, a few years early. When his boss asked how he could afford to retire, Dad responded, "how could he afford not to?" Upon retirement, 15 Feb 1989, he was contracted to BSC to work as Museum Coordinator.
  • Bob was presented with the Silver Maple Leaf in November 1989 by then Governor General Mme. Jeanne Sauvé.

In Ottawa, Bob and Audrey lived in a series of homes:

  • 1959: 1342 Henry Farm Drive[26]
  • 1962: 114 Tower Road[27][28][29]
  • 1971: 27-104 Woodridge Crescent[30][31]
  • 1980: 612-1505 Baseline Road (Manor Square Condo)[32]
  • 2005: Stillwater Creek[33]

In the late '60s, Bob, with help from family and friends, built the family cottage at Mississippi Lake from scratch. Mom and Dad spent $2000 for the property and $2000 for a pile of construction materials. Dad took it from there calling on friends as needed. To save money, the original interior walls were made of 1x2's covered in heavy cardboard panels (3'x4'x.25") salvaged from Scouts Canada displays. Each panel was covered in Scouts Canada literature/flyers so we could lay in bed and read the walls. Over the years, the cottage was improved with siding over the original chipboard exterior, proper interior walls, electricity and plumbing, and a foundation.

In the mid-80's, the family had grown and the cottage wasn't being used as much. So Mom and Dad sold it and bought an RV. They bought it through a company (possibly RV Canada) who rented out the RV when Mom and Dad weren't using it. Once they retired, Mom and Dad took full-time possession of the vehicle and toured all over North America. Dad was also getting into genealogy at that time so he did research on several trips and ultimately delivered the Personal Ancestral File diskettes to Utah in person.

Ultimately, Mom and Dad sold the RV and bought a park model trailer at a resort in Tucson[34][35]. They made many close friends there and even taught line dancing. They also fell in love with south-west art and style which was reflected in their clothing and home decor.

Bob always loved to cook and could turn out some impressive meals with minimal equipment. Around 1970, Dad and several colleagues/friends from Scouts Canada formed a gourmet club where the gentlemen would take turns preparing lavish meals with wines and drinks for the other members and their wives. Whenever it was Dad's turn, we kids benefited in the preceding days as he tried out his recipes.

Given that Scouts Canada paid modest salaries, Bob and Audrey learned to economize. One such economy was to make wine. Mom and Dad acquired a book on wine making and experimented with many recipes - dandelion, potato, etc. One standard was a red made with Welch's Grape Juice.

Bob was a Genealogist.

As indicated above, Bob had several hobbies including square dancing, round dancing, line dancing (for which Mom and Dad led a group at the trailer park in Arizona), embroidery to decorate his western shirts, carving Kachina dolls, and genealogy. When Dad started on the family tree, Gary and Sue gifted him a copy of Personal Ancestral File on diskette for the Commodore 64. Dad dove in and his tree expanded to include thousands of persons. My (Gary's) work in WikiTree so far is simply following in Dad's footsteps.

Bob passed away 20 Dec 2014[36][37][38][39] and his cremated remains were interred at Pinecrest Cemetery[40].

    Commissioner Milks arrived in Victoria Saturday, driving a new Scout automobile from the east.

    Most of the commissioners life was spent in Ottawa and Aylmer, Que. He joined the movement at age 11, became Cubmaster and Scoutmaster before joining the permanent staff in January this year.

    Scout Chief Takes Post In Toronto

    Robert E. Milks, executive commissioner of the Victoria district of the Boy Scouts Association, resigned Thursday to become field commissioner of the Greater Toronto area, it was announced today.

    Mr. Milks, 31, has been commissioner of this area for three years and three months. He has been associated with scouting 19 years, and in an executive capacity 11 years.

    His resignation is effective January 15, and he assumes his new duties immediately on arrival in Toronto.

    A decentralization of scouting is underway in the district---which now embraces about 2,700 scouts aimed at bringing individual boys closer to district operations. In effect, this means smaller units.

    "I hope that the reorganization in the district meets with success and proves to be an aid to scouting," Mr. Milks said.

    Replacement for the executive commissioner has not yet been decided.
