Garland Miller, a 93-year-old veteran from Albion, and his daughter-in-law Gina Miller are thinking big when it comes to puzzles.

“Garland and I started doing puzzles together at my house, and then we did, we kept getting bigger and bigger puzzles,” Gina said. “The Disney one is 40,000 pieces. Had it delivered and it was in a 40-pound box and they’re all separated into 10 panels.”

"It’s sort of fun to put a puzzle together, I mean a smaller one, but this has taken a lot of time,” said Garland. “It’s going to take a whole lot more time too! It’s going right in there, no they don’t, it’s sort of an addiction. There’s a whole lot of them to go through.”

It's not just family members that are helping Garland out either. Liam Sullivan is an autistic teenager from Victor. He loves puzzles and heard about Garland. His therapist worked to set up a meet and greet for the two, and Liam was fascinated with the massive puzzle.

“As soon as I saw he was working on the world’s largest puzzle so close to where we live, I thought that would be a great opportunity for Liam to be in a room with the world’s largest puzzle because he loves puzzles,” said Aimee Gilbert, Ontario ARC autism manager. “For Liam, when he’s working on a puzzle, it’s when he’s just happy and calm, it’s his passion.”

A puzzling ambition to some perhaps, but for this 93-year-old, this hobby fits just right.
