The family of Myles Dwyer of Milton, Queens County, Nova Scotia (formerly of Toronto, Ontario) is heartbroken to announce his passing on Monday, January 3rd, 2022, in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
Born in Dalhousie, New Brunswick, he was the son of Wesley Dwyer and Isabel Lawlor.
He was predeceased by both his parents and his stepfather, Clifford Doucet.
He was the beloved husband of the late Martin Hilliard (d. 2020).
He is survived by his six siblings: Judy (Mike) of Montreal, Rick (Brenda) of Nackawic, Mona Lee (Richard) of Dalhousie, Peggy Ann (Gino) of Whitby, Karla (Simon) of Dalhousie, and Tammy (Eric) of Dalhousie. He was a sweet and loving uncle to thirteen nieces and nephews. He will be fondly remembered by his extended family and friends.
Myles was a kind and gentle soul, well know for his grace and skill on the dance floor. He loved animals; many dogs, always in pairs, were fortunate to be part of the Dwyer-Hilliard family over the years, most recently Wylie and Jamie. He and Martin appreciated the slower pace of their retired life in Milton, hosting guests at their B&B and building friendships in the community. Myles could often be found on his veranda overlooking the river, with a dog on his lap and Martin close by, enjoying one of his favorite cigars.
A private graveyard service will be held this summer in New Mills, New Brunswick.

So sorry for your loss. Myles and Martin were both great friends. Always enjoyed them coming into the cafe for lunch and a little chat. I worked for both boys for 3 years wiper snipping the yard. They both had a bad habit of sneaking up behind me while I was wiper snipping and scaring the crap out of me. They got great enjoyment of seeing me jump. They both will be sadly missed.

My Deepest Condolences To Myles Family,
I Am Shocked And So Very Saddened To See That Myles Has Passed Away. I First Met Myles & Martin At Sobeys When They Came In To Get Their Groceries. I Always Enjoyed Waiting On Them When They Came To Me At My Cash Register. I Was Talking To Myles Just A Week Ago And Asked Him How He Was Making Out And He Smiled And Said That Things Were Starting To Get Better, That Brought A Smile To My Face Just Knowing That He Was Doing Better. Myles & Martin Were A Fixture In This Community, They Brought Life And Smiles To Everyone Here. I Just Can’t Imagine Life Without Them Here.Myles Has Gone Through So Much Pain Since Martin Passed Away, But Now They Are Together Again. God Has Received Such 2 Very Special Men To Be The Next Angels For His Heavenly Garden. His Pain Is Now At Ease. REST IN PEACE MYLES, You & Martin Will Never Be Forgotten. To The Family::: Cherish All Your Memories Of Myles, He Was Such a Special Man, Always So Kind And Friendly.

To Myles Family.
So shocked to read about Myles .
I know he was heart broken over losing Martin .
Myles was such a kind gentle guy .
I always met him at Superstore, we chat inside or out in the parking lot ,
When I heard a horn toot I knew it was Myles .
We talked a lot about finding dimes . I lost my 5 yr. old grandsonin in an MVA . I
Started finding dimes . When Martin passed away , Myles told me he was finding dimes .
I told him to save them , Martin was close by . RIP Myles .
Sincere sympathy to the family .
Barb and Lorne Redmond
It was our special privilege to know Martin and Myles as dear friends, to attend reciprocal meals and festivities and to attend their wedding. I had invited Myles for Christmas but he declined saying he wanted to be alone.
Myles was heart-broken without Martin and he said himself that they were made for each other.
We find it both incredibly sad and unbelievable that Morton House Inn sits alone on the hill without the energy of these two beloved men of our community.
Tim McDonald
Very, very sad to hear about Myles passing. I remember meeting Myles and Martin when they first arrived in Queens County to start their new adventure at Morton House. They easily and immediately fit into the community and everyone loved them. You knew when you ran into them that it meant a good conversation and a few laughs. So it is with great sadness that after Martin’s passing not long ago, we have now lost Myles, too. My sincere condolences to Myles’ family at this very sad time.
Joan sigston
I was so sorry to hear of Myles passing . Martin and Myles had many Christmas dinners at my house along with other friends , we had lots of laughs . I was honoured and pleased to attend their beautiful wedding . I hope you are together . Rest in peace .

Dear Family:
It is hard to describe in words the empty feeling we have in the pit of our stomachs. He was a very good friend as was Martin. Two wonderful kind and caring gentlemen with three beautiful pets.

Peggy Aitchison
I am so very sad to hear of Myles’ passing. When I was a new principal in TDSB, Myles was a constant source of support and encouragement for me. He guided me through tricky situations with wise advice. He was always available and in every conversation we had, he made me feel that my issue was the most important issue he had to consider. I believe it was the sunshine in his soul that gave Myles his brightness and eternal optimism. I am happy to read of the joy he found in his new home in the East. No one deserved it more.
Anthony Vandyke
I was saddened to hear the news. Myles, was a kind, professional in all my years working with him at the Toronto District School Board.
Always a gentleman, always offering to help, always making you feel supported and heard. Always taking time to share stories and a laugh.
God bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Myles’ passing. I had the great pleasure of working with him for many years at the TDSB. He was always incredibly supportive and generous with his time. Regardless of how busy he might have been, he was always patient, kind and willing to take time to share a story and a laugh. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace and joy.
Murray Kirkpatrick
To Myles’s family my sincere condolences. I remember meeting these two kind guys at the SuperStore when they first arrived. They were so enthusiastic about the Morton House and it’s history. We exchanged photos and stories. I was able to give them some background as my family would visit cousin Alina Morton and Fred her nephew every summer in the 60’s. We would watch the Milton Days water sports from the porch. Both the guys were generous with their home and held teas etc to support numerous organizations in the community. They did it with grace and kindness. They are a loss to the community. May they rest together.
gordy stefulic
I was saddened to hear the news of his passing. I had the good fortune to work alongside Myles at the TDSB. I learned a great deal from him. I appreciated the depth of his understanding, of not only details required for his job, but for knowing the people with whom he worked. I was happy that he was able to retire and move east and set up a new life for himself. He was sorely missed. His kind heart, his sense of humor and his compassion made his absence pronounced. My sincerest condolences to his family.
Marilyn Whynot
To Myles family sending my heartfelt sympathy to all. Myles was an amazing person but never really never got over the loss of Martin. He was always such a social bunny with people. I can’t believe he is gone so heart breaking but I know he will be happy to be with Martin. RIP my friend you will always be in my heart.
Stew Horton

Our sincere condolences to Karla and Simon Gallant , and to all extended family on both sides . We never had the opportunity to meet Myles and his beloved partner and spouse. But we got to know them through Karla, Simon, our son in law Phil and our daughter Genevieve.. they always spoke of them with love and the bond they shared. We believe they are together now in a place where love is colourblind, gender blind, and more, a place where love has no bounds, no hatred, no judgment, no reproach, a place called heaven !!! Rip guys You deserve it !
Suzanne Adamkowski
To Myles’s family I’m so sorry for your loss, he was a lovely man. My late husband Greg and I were annual guests at the Morton House, and me alone after his passing. Always warm and welcoming, Myles and Martin were wonderful hosts. I take some comfort in knowing Myles is reunited with Martin; he had been so lost after his passing. I’m grateful to have known him.
Debbie & Rayburn Furlotte (Innis)

Barrie Sketchley
I am sad to know that Myles is no longer with us. I worked with Myles as a principal at the Toronto District School Board and he was one of the central support staff who made my life so much better that it might have been. Kind ,cheerful and always quick to help. I remember feeling disappointed when I learned that he was moving to the east coast. I’m pleased to know that he had so many good years there living his dream with his partner.
My condolences to his family friends.

Collette Dowhaniuk
I am so saddened by this tragic news. Myles was a beloved colleague and a treasured friend during our years with the Etobicoke Board of Education; he was admired for his brilliant mind, his extraordinary kindness, and his prowess on the dance floor. He amazed us all with his ability to look crisp and turned out even in a staffing crisis. It was wonderful to spend time with him and Martin in their gorgeous home. I was hoping to revisit when this never ending pandemic eventually does end. Deepest condolences to Myles’s family; pleased know that he was beloved by many, many colleagues back in Ontario.
Ursula McCoy

He was so loved and respected by all the administrators and especially the principals who he supported. I will miss him terribly, but am heartened to know he will be with Martin whom he loved fully.
Bill McIntosh
Myles was a great guy and an excellent employee! I had the pleasure of working with him at the Etobicoke Board of Education. He was admired by all who worked with him. I always enjoyed his sense of humour.

Craig Crone
Myles was a wonderful person with whom I had the great good fortune to work with at the Etobicoke Board of Education. He was a kind, caring, and compassionate person who would always ‘ tell it like it is’, when it came to staffing a school. He was always right too!
Myles, I’ll miss you. We’re all better for having known you.
My deepest condolences to Myles’ family and friends.
Naomi Emmett
My sincere condolences to Myles’ family and many friends. I had the good fortune and great pleasure of working with Myles for many years at the Etobicoke Board of Education. He was there to help you in any way he could, always with a smile and an empathetic ear. I am delighted to know that he found such happiness there in Nova Scotia with Martin and their four legged family members.
Myles life was certainly a life well lived.
Shannon Woolfrey
Myles and I worked together at the Etobicoke Board of Education. Myles was always ready to listen, was most helpful and had a wonderful sense of humour – a very kind soul. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

To Myles’s Family & Friends:
On behalf of the Mersey Swing Band I wish to offer sincere condolences for your loss. Myles and Martin opened their beautiful property each year on a Sunday in August so that the Swing Band could do an afternoon concert. We all enjoyed playing at this lovely outdoor venue and I know those who attended were treated with kindness and warmth by both Myles and Martin. We made many memories there and will miss them both.

To Myles Family
I am so sorry that Myles has passed away. He and Martin were great friends and always had time to chat. Myles would always ask me “How is your Mom?”. So thoughtful to think of her. I am certain that Myles had many friends who enjoyed his company.
My Sincere Condolences.

Karla Doucet gallant
As Myles’s younger sister I would like to say my deepest sympathy for all Myles friends and members of the community and coworkers who have had the privilege of knowing him. He was a man that was hard not to love once you knew him he had a very kind soul and a very big heart. And you always knew at a wedding that you have to book him early because all the women wanted to dance as he could take someone with two left feet and make them feel and look like they are professional dancers. We will miss him terribly but it fills my heart to know how much love and how many people cared about my sweet brother Myles where he and Martin settled for their second chapter of life. Xxxxooo. Thank you
John & Nancy LEEFE
So much good to be said. We have lost a great friend
Janet MacCurdy
It is with a very heavy heart and deep sorrow that I extend my sympathy to Judy, Ricky, Peggy, Karla and Tammy on the death of Myles, and to all his friends in Milton. I find it hard to believe that Myles is gone. I just spoke to him before Christmas, and he said he was doing better. He had sold the B&B and was thinking of moving back to Dalhousie. We were laughing and planning when we would next see one another. I was so excited to think that I would get to see him more if he was living in Dalhousie. Myles and I were high school buddies. When he moved to Toronto, I tracked him down, only to find out we worked nearby one another.. Then, I got together with he and Martin over dinner several times. I also visited with them at the lovely B&B in Milton.
Myles’ birthday is tomorrow February 2. A date etched in my mind forever, as I have been sending him birthday cards for the last 45 years. Such a gentleman, sweet sweet soul. I will miss him dearly. I know how happy he is to be reunited with Martin. With eternal love.
Arnold Witt
This was difficult news for me as I know it has been for anyone that knew Myles. I was very fortunate to have worked with Myles as a Vice Principal and as a Principal in the TDSB. Myles helped me all along the way in my growth track to recruit and inspire new teachers to the Board. Myles’ warmth and belief in our teachers is something I will always take with me and I will never forget to honour what he taught me. My deepest condolences to all his family and close friends.
Cathy Hamblin
I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Myles. I first met Myles in 1976/77 when he started his career with Etobicoke Board of Education and we became friends, he sharing my first born DOB, Feb 2. Eventually, Myles became my boss and we had a great working relationship. He was an awesome mentor and guided me through my career when we merged boards and became TDSB. I truly missed him when he retired to Nova Scotia and upon retiring myself, my husband and I rode our motorcycle to Morton House Inn and had a wonderful visit with Myles, Martin and of course The Dogs! Our second visit to Nova Scotia was September 2019 and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to see Myles and Martin.
To the Dwyer Family…my thoughts are with you as you go through the grieving process.
Cathy Hamblin, former Etobicoke/TDSB employee and Friend
