MERRILL CARMICHAEL

Born: March 2nd, 1940

Passed on: June 25th, 2017

It is with great sadness and love that we announce the passing of our father, Merrill Carmichael, aged 77, on Sunday, June 25th 2017. Merrill passed away peacefully in the early morning with his wife and family by his side. Merrill was born on March 2, 1940 in New Aberdeen to the late Murdock and Muriel (Merrill) Carmichael.
Dad gave 32 years of valuable and dedicated service to the CN Police, and was a respected business owner (Ken-Lee Auto Supply) in Little Bras D’Or for many years. Dad will always be remembered for his famous spaghetti sauce, his talented guitar playing, and his bass singing voice.
Merrill is survived by his devoted wife, Lorna; children, Cindy (Bashar), Garland (Carrie), Crystal (Martin), and Nathan (Wanda); brothers, Norman (Anne) and Robert (Margie); granddaughters, Caitlyn, Castine, Molly, Abigail, Hailey, and Faith; as well as many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
We would like to thank the staff at the An Cala unit of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital for taking care of our father in his last moments and to staff and friends at the Northside Community Guest Home where Dad was a resident for the past two years.
Cremation has taken place and at the family’s request no formal funeral service will be held. An informal visitation and celebration of life will take place on Tuesday, June 27th at the Northside Guest Home from 2-4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Northside Community Guest Home. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of W.J. Dooley Funeral Home, 107 Pleasant St., North Sydney.
