So sad to read that Merlin had passed away. I knew and worked with Merlin for the 29 years that I was with DuPont and then another 10 years as a tax volunteer for the VITA program, until we went to computers and Merlin still opted to do returns by pencil.
Every year after that he would come in , having already done his return in pencil and ask me to do his return so it could electronically be filed. We would check each line of the computer print out with his printed form, and if the numbers were 1 cent off we would have to look for an explanation.

I shall miss Merlin . He was a good person and I know he is in a better place.
May he rest peacefully in the presence of God.
I will never forget him.

I was saddened to hear that Mert had passed away. He was a good man. Whenever I would see him, he always had an encouraging word for me. I bet he, along with his brothers, Doris and the Bloore boys are together with plenty of laughter. Whenever our families got together, they were always great times. I am sorry that we can not be at his visitation/funeral as we are on a trip til next week. May the Lord engulf you in love and comfort during this difficult time. Don and Marcia Bloore
