Mervin worked at Burns for 15 years until it closed, as a milkman for Exner Distributing and then at Home Hardware in hunting, fishing and sporting goods sales, until he retired in 2013. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing, was a war history buff and owned several classic cars over the years. Mervin will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Ainslie and grandson Leven; mother Jen Exner; siblings Sharon McClean, Randy Exner, Carol Adams and Kevin Exner.

Not unlike Larry I too went to school with "A" in both Killaly and at St. Henry's. I also hung with him and his cousins on weekends back in the early 70s. He was a calm, kind and reserved individual who had a great sense of humour and the type of person this world needs a lot more of. Back in the day, "A" loved the band Badfinger and I expect that the 3 deceased members of the group played "Come and Get It" when they welcomed him home! My sincere condolences on your loss to Ainslie, Leven and the rest of Merv's family! - Posted by: Mervin Sapara (Friend) on: Apr 19, 2023

Our deepest sympathy to Ainslie, Leven and Merv’s family. I grew up with Merv or “A” as we called him, attending Killaly School and St. Henry’s High School in Melville together. I moved to Brandon in 1971 and Merv moved there shortly after. We worked together at Burns Foods and lived together until 1974. Merv was my best man when I married Patricia. Merv and I spent many days and hours together, hunting, fishing, curling and having a drink or two at the old Red Caboose. We will miss you buddy “A” ❤️ gone too soon! Larry, Patricia, Christopher, Taylor and Madison - Posted by: Larry Exner (Cousin ) on: Nov 28, 2022

Condolences to his daughter, grandson and family. Mervin or A as we called him was a great guy. We met in St. Henry’s High School, went to a lot of dances, parties and raced a lot of cars. When ever I we went to Brandon I would look him up. He will be missed. - Posted by: Howard Pankoski (Old friend) on: Nov 26, 2022
