I am so sorry for your loss, Erin.
SORRY TO LEARN OF MERLE,S PASSNG. WILL MISS HIS AND NORMA'S CATERING SEVICE, GOOD TO READ OF OTHERS LEAVING A COMMENT.
AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER I CAN ALWAYS SEE UNCLE MERLE AS A VERY "FUNNY" MAN. ALWAYS MAKING US LAUGH... VERY GOOD-HEARTED AND GOOD-NATURED. I DON'T THINK I EVER SAW HIM MAD. ALWAYS ENJOYED HIS FAMILY VISITS. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL. PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED.
Merle was always there for anyone who needed help. I will be forever thankful for his help at our wedding. Prayers for the family.
Merle was always smiling and having a laugh. I have known him it seems like forever. I babysat ALL of his children and enjoyed knowing Merle and Norma. My thoughts and prayers are with Norma and the children.
RIP Merle
I remember helping at the cook-outs/catering. He was a very nice man!
Merle was a great guy, always had a smile and a laugh for you. Thinking of you all.
