Obituary
Farwell
Passed away suddenly on Oct. 16, 2013 at his home in Gander, Melvin Farwell, 81. Melvin was a devoted husband of 56 years to Ivy (Coles), Father to Bonnie (Garry) Hayward, Mount Pearl and Percy (Andrea Yetman), Gander, and Grandfather to Erica and Alexandra Hayward (Mount Pearl) and Matthew & Julien Farwell (Gander) who will all miss him dearly and remember him with love. Predeceased by his parents, Wilbert and Matilda (Burden)Farwell and brothers Max, Gord, Percy, Clayton, and Jack, Melvin leaves behind brothers Roland (Corner Brook) and Theodore (Port Aux Choix) , sister Millicent (Port Aux Choix) and a large circle of relatives and friends. Melvin was a loving, kind and generous man who always brought a smile to those he met and a full stomach to those he loved. He leaves a legacy of love, laughter and kindness. A big man with a bigger heart, he possessed an enduring , quiet faith and will be as welcomed in the next phase of his journey as he will be missed by those who have shared his wonderful life. On his modest “Bucket List”, all the boxes were ticked.
His weary hours and days of pain,
His troubled nights are past;
And in our aching hearts we know
He has found sweet rest at last.

He had a nature you could not help loving
And a heart that was purer than gold
And to those who knew him and loved him
His memory will never grow cold.
Rested at Stacey's Funeral home, Gander. Funeral Service was held at St. Martin's Anglican Cathedral. Interment followed at the All Saints Cemetery, Gander. Donations in Melvin's memory may be made to a charity of one's choice. Arrangements entrusted through Stacey’s Funeral Home, Gander-Carmanville.
