Edward Luther Meyrick

“Lu”

June 11, 1937 - August 1, 2023

Passed away at the age of 86. Loving father of Ken (Colleen) and Kathy. Grandfather of Cameron, Kyle, Nicole, Adam, Kayla, Rose Marie and Jacob. Great Grandfather of Alayna, Maverick, Parker and Benjamin. Lovingly cared for in the last year of his life by his ‘baby sister’ Cherryl Breault. Will also be missed by his nieces and nephew, his sister-in-law Joyce, friends Diane and Larry Campeau, and cousins in the UK. Reunited with his parents Edward (1985) and Gwen (2005), brother Robin (2013) and brother-in-law John (2009).

Lu was born in London, England and was extremely proud of his Welsh heritage. He immigrated to Canada in 1952. In his youth, he was an accomplished soccer player and was recruited by a number of teams in both Canada and the USA. He enjoyed a number of careers through his working years, and particularly relished his time teaching health and safety on Great Lakes freighters and for EllisDon Construction.

Lu’s family extends their sincerest appreciation to the staff at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance and Tilbury Gardens for the kind and compassionate care he was given.  At Lu’s request, a private family Celebration of Life will take place. Arrangements entrusted to Simple Choice.
