Merrill truly had a servants heart! I remember him as a gentle man with such a gentle , generous and compassionate spirit. I remember how he supported his wif at the end as she suffered from altheizmers . He was so faithful on his visits! He was the man who first invited my dad to church and also the guy who got my dad to have the nerve to ask my mom out.....so VERY instrumental in my dad's young life! The last time I talked to Merrill was while I sat by my dad's side when he was in hospice care. He always stopped by with a word of encouragement and words of faith about the wonderful journey dad would soon take. Now Merrill has taken that journey and is reunited with Lois, Karen and Janet. I wish I could be at the funeral or reviewal....if it wasn't 100 miles, or was on the weekend..... but I will be thinking of you all!;

Merrill and his wife, Lois, had a big impact on my life. They were great people and will be greatly missed.
