Obituary of Frank William Lenard Merritt

It is great sadness that the family of Frank Merritt of Bobcaygeon, announce his passing at Peterborough Hospital on April 16th, 2022. He passed peacefully surrounded by his loving wife and family, at the age of 80. Predeceased by his parents Fredrick and Lulu Merritt; brother William (Lisa), brother Arthur (Carol) sister Bonnie (Rick), sister Frances; brother in-law Roy. 

 

Leaving to mourn is his loving wife Phyllis of 61 years, who stood by his side and knew the true meaning of their marriage vows; daughter Laurie, daughter Tracey (Lloyd) and their daughters Kara and Karley; son Frank Jr (Kelly) and their daughters Jetta and Laya; son Scott (Tracy) and children Justice, Erika, Ethan and Meadow; Brother Ted (Vivian); sister in-law Patricia (Lloyd) As well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.  

 

Frank was a fun-loving family man with a great sense of humor, he always had a great story to tell, never short of words, and his smile would light up any room. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. For many of you, he was known as a Firefighter, but to us he was dad.

Special thanks to the staff at Peterborough Hospital who assisted him in his final days.
