Not sure what to say?

Belatedly, I have come upon this news and extend my best thoughts to the Merritt family. As a teacher, I knew several of the various siblings and Marion, their mother, who was a blessing on the world. I became a particular friend to Andrew, whom I loved and love. I have no idea if anyone will see this. If you do, please know that I remember you well and affectionately.

My sincerest sympathy to all for your loss. So many happy memories of time spent with your Mom and Dad. I'm sure they are looking down on us all and smiling. I keep you all in my prayers

GEORGE WAS A TERRIFIC BOSS AND A GREAT FRIEND WORKED IN ADVERTISING WITH HIM AND KNEW GEORGE 52 YEARS

Mr. Merritt was an inspiring leader, who lead by example. He was admired and looked up to by the participants in his Dale Carnegie classes. I remember one day ask him about the pin on the lapel of his suit jacket and he told me it was given by the American Red Cross when you had reached the milestone of having donated a gallon of blood.

To Judy and her large family I send my deepest
condolences and also pray that your grieve is stilled by ALL of the memories that were made from your numerous house dance parties, beach bathing in Old Lyme and love you shared with others.
Judy, though it has been decades since last seeing each other at NW Re-Union, I reach out to those who are still special. I am so sorry for the death of your Dad as I experienced the same when my Dad passed on seven years ago. God Bless you all as...

I had the distinct opportunity and pleasure of working with George at Milton Bradley for a number of years. He was the consummate professional, always with a welcoming smile and friendly hello. He was a mentor and a friend and I continue to employ his wisdom to this day. And his always-at-the-ready "TERRRRIFIC" reply to "How ya doin', George?" is a favorite memory. My condolences to your extended family on the passing of this terrrrific guy.

I feel honored to have known such a wonderful soul. My prayers are with all of you during this time.

My coldences to the Merritt clan. I remember you all growing up in West Hartford and seeing you at St Peter Claver - some of you were friends with a couple of my brothers - another large family we were too!
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. You now have two wonderful beacons of light watching over you. May he rest in peace
