John Francis Millard of Warren, died Tuesday, May 24, 2022. Born and raised in Warren, Dr. Millard was the son of the Reverend Mr. Charles E. Millard, MD and Mildred Millard (Lowney) both from Warren as well. Professor Millard received his doctoral degree from the University of Toronto; his thesis was titled: "Laughter as Sense, a Study of Meaning." He taught philosophy and religion at Pope St. John XXIII Seminary in Weston, MA. from 2009 until the time of his death. Having Attended Portsmouth Priory (now Abbey) School, Dr. Millard was a presenter at the School's Summer Institute on Catholicism in the modern world. John loved teaching and the Church, so when he was appointed to the faculty at Pope St. John, it was a little bit of heaven. John had been the President of the Board of Directors at the George Haile Free Library in Warren for over 20 years, public service he relished dearly. Everyone who knew John remembers his steadiness of character, his quick wit, and his hearty laugh which brightened up every encounter with him. However, more important than all of that was John's devotion to the people he loved. A loving husband, John cared for Maria over the past decade after she suffered several strokes. He was equally good to his brother Dan throughout their lives, being best friends and companions through 70 years. They had many good times together on visits to music sites, historic sites, and national parks and monuments. Dan always said, "Anyone who has had a brother like John is very lucky indeed." Dr. Millard is survived by his wife of 34 years, Maria Horvath. He is also survived by brothers Charles, Jr.; Daniel, and James; and sister MaryCatherine; and by six nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by brothers Vincent and Timothy. Calling hours will be held on Thursday, June 2, 2022, from 4-7PM in Smith Funeral & Memorial Services, 8 Schoolhouse Rd., Warren.
