Merle was a always very respected man, Enjoyed working with Merle for 35 years at Honeywell. Merle had many friends. He has a beautiful family and our Prayers are with his family during this time of grieving. Merle will be missed by many people. We will miss him making Home Made Ice Cream and the Oatmeal cookies he baked and brought to our home when we had Taco’s with him on Taco Tuesdays.
I am sorry for your loss ! He was a great guy alway happy . Many more things but when our families went to Colorado both times and as a scout leader he was a very good leader . He will be missed
There was Music
There was Love
There was Merle
May there always be Music, Love & Merle.
My wife and I first met Merle walking his much-loved, four-legged companion, Daisy. We would stop from time to time and talk about our dogs and eventually our conversation would turn to politics. After we had solved the world’s problems, we would smile go on our way with smiles on our faces. He was a friendly man who was kind to us. He will be missed.
Condolences to your family and friends.
If he was as wonderful as Neal and Don ( my father was a Firefighter with them ) Then he was a Great Father and Friend..
God Bless you all.
Merle was a wonderful human being. Always had a smile on his face and a great person to work with. I am sorry for your loss.
What a lovely man he was. I know you will miss him. He was such a good neighbor to my mother.
I had no idea Merle had passed. He was a great neighbor and I loved saying hi to him daily when he was walking his beloved dog. Prayers to all. He will be missed!!
