Meurling, Alric
May 12, 2006
Alric Fritiof Meurling, Majar (Retired), C.D., Bsc. Eng, P.Eng October 2, 1924 to May 11, 2006 Friends, it is with extraordinary regret that we announce that on Thursday May 11th, 2006, surrounded by his family, our father passed away. Forgive him for leaving the party early. He didnt like standard funerals and didnt want a formal viewing because he thought they are not happy things. Instead, he insisted on leaving this world with a memorial that echoes the way he lived in it with family and friends, good memories, full of joy in a life well-lived. His death is sad but not tragic. Alric Meurling lived a rich life, laughed, cried, loved, is loved and generally lived life to the fullest. He graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1947 and then married his soul-mate, Dolly (Annie) Wilson on June 21 of the same year. Over the next 59 happy, busy years, the two had five children, Mary Ellen (Brian) MacLean, Cathi Farrell, Janice (Dirk) de Boer, John (Susan) Meurling, and Sara Jean (Ted Kaiser), who presented them with 13 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Al was proud to have been a Squadron Leader in the RCAF, and retired after an accomplished career that included opening CFB Cold Lake in Alberta, construction on the DEW Line, and working with officers and men of distinction. He earned a commendation from the USAF for his exemplary service as an exchange officer with the Inspector Generals office during the critical years of the Cold War. He retired from the Canadian Armed Forces as a Major in 1972. His second career with the Frontenac County Board of Education in Plant and Maintenance brought to the fore his dedication to the idea of a job well done. Following his retirement in 1987, Al was a committed member of the Ramses Shrine in Kingston, the Air Force Association, Silver Wings Group, and Saint Pauls Anglican Church, and actively participated and enjoyed the charitable and social life of each organization. He was a member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario, the Frontenac County Education Museum, Kingston United Services Institute, #416 Wing Air Force Association, a life Member of the Moira Lodge #11, Quinte Friendship Moira Chapter #7 Royal Arch Masons, King Baldwin Preceptory #6 (all of Belleville), The Valley of Kingston Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite 32 , Ramses Temple A.A.O.N.M.S. Toronto, 1000 Islands Shrine Club, Kingston & District Shrine Club and the Clearwater (Florida) Shrine Club. We hope that all of you will think of him fondly. The entire family, including the extended families, friends, and descendants will be sobbing, laughing, talking and living inspired by his immense vitality, sense of joy and love. A memorial service in celebration of his life is planned at St. Paul's Anglican Church (Queen and Montreal) in Kingston on Monday May 15 at 2pm. No flowers please, donations in his memory to the Shriners Hospital, to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice. Our adored father and husband's message to you would be "Tell a beloved how much you love them and celebrate life together."
