Terry Merz was a football coach to me and my friends dad. He was a man that believed in hard work, honor, and respect. A great man that I could always look up to and strive to be like. He will be missed dearly. RIP Terry and god bless the Merz family.

I am saddened by the passing of Terry. We were teammates on the Wright-Bernet Orioles in the West Side Babe Ruth League and were City Tournament Champs in 1966. When I coached his son, Justin in the West Side Little League, Terry was always supportive of his son and the coaching staff. He was a good guy with a fun personality and always gave his best effort in all that he did.
My sympathies to his family.

Terry was a friend and mentor. The years I spent coaching football with him at Talawanda were special. He was the best coach in all of SW Ohio. He was an even better friend and person. Terry made an impact on me and so many others. My sympathies are with all of you.
