My condolences to the Merrill Family. Dick was one of my favorite people at the Zephyrhills Elks Lodge. He was a great member and very willing volunteer. He always had that wonderful smile and something nice to say to me and about others. We will all miss him.
So happy I talked to Dick just a few days ago and sorry about his passing. Have so many good memories. We used to say Kelly was Dick and Lois's Mom and I was Gramma... We would call and say it was Mom and Gramma and we would all chuckle about it... Many good times in Florida and MI. So sorry I can't make it home...Lois, I will see you this summer... Love to you all. Barb
So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We had some really great times with him and Lois. Our community has lost a great man. My deepest sympathy to the entire Merrill family. So sorry that I cannot be there, but you are all in my thoughts. Connie Lumbert
I always loved his stories, especially MUS-KE-GON and SHE-BOY-GON. Fond memories of a fishing trip also. I am glad I was able to help take care of him too. So sorry for your loss.
