To The Lunn and Meehan Families.

It is with profond sorrow that we learned of Merril's passing. He was truly a wonderful person, full of life with a terrific sense of humour. He had a smile that could melt the coldest heart, a quick wit and piercing blue eyes.
He will be dearly missed especially at the card table where he enjoyed an honest game of 45's {lol}. We have fond memories of evenings spent playing cards.

May he rest in eternal peace.
