Such a great guy to work with. Enjoyed talking and laughing with him everyday. Truly missed him when he retired. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Loved this man! Will always remember the good times at South Tacoma Christian Church

All the amazing parties with the Bracy's and Corder's during Christmas. Great white elephant gifts and karaoke. You are going to be missed.
I was fortunate enough to have the honor of posing for a photo with Pap as Batman at his great-grandchildren’s birthday party this year. It was a highlight of my day to get a picture with a real-life hero. In our short interaction it was clear to me that Pap was very proud of his family and loved them all very much. God speed, Pap!
I only got to know Merv for a few years but I don't ever remember seeing him without that fabulous smile or that glorious hat! From one Vet to another, thank you and welcome home! RIP soldier!
I will always remember his bright " kick ass " smile. He and I both served in vuetnsm, but not at the same times. I remember holding Shelia as a baby at my sister's apartment when Merv was overseas. He was a proud Veteran and he served his country in the worst of times. May he finally rest in peace in heaven, no more nightmares of Nam.
