LeROY (ROY) ADDISON MERNER
January 26, 1944 – July 21, 2014
Peacefully, after a courageous battle
with cancer, with his daughter, siblings and friends by his side, it is with
heavy hearts that we announce the passing of LeRoy (Roy) Addison Merner on
Monday, July 21, 2014 in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 70 years.
Left to cherish Roy’s memory are his
only daughter Teri-Lee Dubberley (Rob) and granddaughter Ava from Calgary, AB;
his mother Marjorie Merner; siblings - Edna (Russ), Greg (Maureen), Terry
(Ingrid), Sandra (Bill), Brian (Debbie) and Brad (Gloria); longtime friend
Karen Guina and family; numerous nieces; nephews; relatives and friends. He was
predeceased by his father, Addison Merner; brother, Randy Merner; nephews
Darren Krosney and Sean Thickson.
Roy grew up in Elmwood. Life was an
adventure. Though, Winnipeg was always his home base, work lead him to many
places for many years. Roy was a consummate salesman, he could sell you
anything. He loved to read mystery books, but was passionate about watching
sports, playing poker and has spent many beautiful days on the golf course -
all more enjoyable when there was a wager. When you remember Roy, you will
think "what a character!" But,
he was a patient man, a man of few words who spoke when he thought there was
something to say. Roy had many special relationships with family and friends
that cannot be replaced. He enjoyed large family gatherings, reminiscing,
debating, and playing games. He absolutely loved and adored his granddaughter Ava.
Roy will be missed by all his family and friends, who always appreciated his
wonderful sense of humor and unique philosophy of life.
A Celebration of Roy's Life will be
held on Sunday, July 27, 2014 at the Marlborough Hotel, Churchill Room, 331
Smith Street. Please drop by anytime between 12:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. to pay
respects.
The family would like to thank the
staff of W.R.H.A Palliative Care, as well as the Doctors, Nurses and staff at
Concordia Hospital.
