Our sincerest condolences to Joyce and her family. Elson used to jokingly tell us that he was just a poor farmer. However, he was much more than that. He was a well-respected Markham politician who didn't need anybody telling him where the "high road" was. He instinctively knew that, and always took it. He was the patriarch of the Miles family, and was deeply loved by all. His philanthropy for local charities was well known and much appreciated. We will always cherish our memories of travelling the world and cruising the seas with Elson and Joyce. We have lost our best friend, and Markham has lost a life-long citizen who embodied the basic principles of respect and integrity. Rest in peace our dear friend.
