Austin James Merrill
1938-2017
It is with profound sadness that the family of Austin James Merrill,
78, of Blacks Harbour, NB announce that he passed away unexpectedly at
his residence on Friday, March 17, 2017. Born in Second Falls, NB to
the late Steve and Annie (Morrow) Merrill on August 9, 1938 and lived
most of his life in Blacks Harbour, NB.
Austin worked for Connors Bros. Ltd. for 50 years as a machinist and
as a long haul transport driver. Austin retired in 2005. Even after
retirement he still worked the trucks for local companies as trucking
was in his blood. He loved spending time with family and enjoyed his
Saturday breakfasts at the Pennfield Irving with Woody, Darcy and
Adam.
He was a proud father to his four children, Patty Merrill of Blacks
Harbour, Shelly (Fred) Merrill-MacKillop of St. George, Wade Merrill
of Blacks Harbour and Jason Merrill of Kingston Peninsula. He is
survived by the love of his life, his wife Karen (Moses) Merrill and
his younger brother Elwood (Ellen) Merrill of St. George,
brother-in-law Rudy (Barb) Moses of Grand Bay-Westfield and
sister-in-law Janice Stewart of Pennfield. He was the proud
grandfather of Jesse, Frederick, Halle, Alice, Ty, Anna and great
grand-daughter Mackenzie. He is also survived by many loving nieces,
nephews and cousins.
