Coach Merrifield was was more than a coach. He genuinely cared about his students and the athletes he coached. My deepest condolences to his entire family and all those who were fortunate enough to be his extended `coached´ family. He remains a great human being who touched the lives of so many.

I really loved Charlie. He was more than a coach, though he was truly an exceptional coach, father-figure and mentor to several generations of math students and track athletes. Offering condolences to Betty, Liza, Jim, Chuck and all of the Merrifield clan. Charlie was the kind of man that made others proud to be from Butte.

Charlie I will miss you as a friend, mentor and a great hurdle coach. All coaches in Montana will miss you as a tireless advocate for track and field. May your family be comforted knowing how much you were respected and loved.

I'll say a mass for Charlie's intention. My condolences Fr. Frank Wright SMA
