Reginald «Reg» Mercer
1944-2022
It is with broken hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the
death of Reginald Wilfred Mercer. Reg passed away after a brief
illness surrounded by his family at the Doctor Everett Chalmers
Hospital on June 9, 2022.
He is survived by his soul mate, the
love of his life, Patrica Mercer (Joy) whom he lovingly called Patsy
and their daughters; Sherry (Shawn) Croucher and Judy (Stewart) Pope,
his grandchildren Dayne Croucher, Taylor Pope and Courtney Croucher
(Joshua Fillmore), all of whom he loved deeply and unconditionally. He
was so proud of his family.
Reg was born in Shearstown,
Newfoundland, on February 25, 1944, to Susan Mercer (Neil) and John
Arthur Mercer. He had 9 siblings, Eugene (Alice deceased), Arthur
deceased
(Olive deceased) and (Jean), Susan (Moses deceased), Sylvia (Leander),
Jack (deceased), Sam (Angeline), Burt (Susan), Iris (Frank), John
(Kay). Many nieces and nephews that he treated like they were his own
children.
Reg’s home was and will always be his
beloved Labrador. He worked at the Iron Ore Company of Canada for
almost 40 years. He had many wonderful friends who shared his passion
for hunting, fishing, boating and, because it’s Labrador,
ski dooing. It was a dream for anyone who loved the outdoors as much
as he did.
He always loved being surrounded by his
family and friends, impromptu get togethers and country music,
especially, Johnny Cash. He was always one to tell a story and an
equally great listener. If you needed a shirt he would gladly take his
off and give it to you. He was kind and generous. When he loved you it
surrounded you always, like a big hug.
There will be a celebration of life
held Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 5 p.m., 69 Dexter Crescent, Lincoln,
New Brunswick. Donations can be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke
Foundation or your local SPCA
