ELGY (ELBOURNE) MERRICK With great sorrow we announce the passing of Elgy Merrick on Tuesday May 21, 2002 at Deer Lodge Centre. Predeceased in February 2000 by his wife of 53 years Margaret, he is survived by his daughter Janice Merrick; son Larry (Charlene) grandchildren, Rob Sandell (Amanda), Jana Slimon (Jamey) and great granddaughters, Vienna and Annika. Dad lived life to the fullest until emphysema curtailed his activities. Dad served in the Army from 1942 to 1945. He started his career with Salisbury House in 1946 serving their famous "Nips" at the old bus depot. His hard work was rewarded with numerous promotions from managing the Kenora Sals, the Winnipeg Airport Sals and moving to Area Manager. After 37 years, he retired from Salisbury House as Manager of Personnel. Dad was president of A.N.A.F Veterans No. 1 from 1963 to 1966. He enjoyed bowling, curling, golf and all the other activities at the club. Cremation has taken place.
