Fuzzy was a lifelong resident of Old Orchard Beach. He was a lieutenant for the OOB Fire Department and owned and operated Fuzzy’s Service Center doing small engine repairs in Saco.

He was preceded in death by: his parents, Lawrence and Ethelynn Merrill; and his sister, Donna Roy.
He is survived by: his wife of 55 years, Claudette Jacques Merrill; his daughters, Karen Geaumont and Pamela (Norman) Ledoux; his grandchildren, Ryan St. Pierre, Mykala Geaumont, Holly Ledoux and Kari Ledoux; and his great-grandchildren, Devynn, Gregory, Isabelle and Isaac.
