 John L. Merrill, 78, of Manchester, passed away on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born in Lewiston, Maine on Dec. 29, 1942, to the late Leroy and Stella (Horzempa) Merrill. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Nancy (Noyes) Merrill, and their children: Michael Merrill and his wife, Christine, of Columbia, Roberta Merrill of Vernon, Pauline Merrill of Vernon, and Jennifer Miller and her husband, Kyle, of Manchester. John also leaves his grandchildren: Alyssa Bombaci and her husband, Jared, of Colchester, Alexis Merrill of Randolph, Vermont, and Margaret Miller of Manchester, all of whom were his pride and joy. His family was his life.
John was a 1961 graduate of Manchester High School. He managed several local businesses, including Cumberland Farms and Oxford Liquor Store, and while retired he worked part time at Shaw's. John was a lifelong New York Giants fan and never missed watching a game. He also loved the LA Dodgers - he and his best friend would skip school and take the train to New York to go to the baseball game, when they were the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Family and friends may call at the John F. Tierney Funeral Home, 219 West Center St., Manchester, on Tuesday, June 22, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., followed by a graveside service at East Cemetery, 220 East Center St., Manchester.
