Donald James Mertens

Dear Mertens Family , I had the good fortune of knowing your wonderful father for many years , we work together at Technicolor and as a fellow resident here at the MPTF . We saw each other quite a bit here on the campus , he was always up beat and happy .. In fact I saw him at dinner the night he died , I was with my dog Wink and we talked he was fine .
It was a sock the next morning to see his picture and that he had passed .

God Bless you all , Frank Fassnacht

Dear Don -

You dad was a great guy, and a great Little League manager as well.

In the many years I worked at Technicolor, Don was one of the true Gentlemen I met there. He was a great friend and a pleasure to work for and with.

Dearest Don, Penny and Marne, and all: We are thinking of you, remembering dear Don and all the memories. We send our love and best wishes. Judith, Jim and Mark Pinero.

Dear Penny and Pat and Mik and Family,
I am thinking of you with warm thoughts. I have many nice memories of your dad from the years ago. Our loved ones never truly leave us, the love they shared lives on. Sending you sympathy at this time of sorrow....With love, Nancy Osgood

Sending love and prayers during this most difficult time. Your Dad was a very special man.

Dear Mertens Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. We all loved your dad. It was a joy to be around him and his wonderful, infectious sense of humor. We could always count on him to lighten up a party or family get together. It is in these times of life when we reflect on how much our friends and family really mean to us; and Donny was one of those who meant a lot to our family, as well as dear Ginny.
God bless you all,
Marla and Gary Roberts and...

Our Uncle Don was such a fine man. I know he was so proud of all of you. You took such good care of him when he really needed you. We will always miss our Uncle Don & Aunt Ginny.
Love, Rich & Kathy Werder & Family
