DR. HARRY W. MERGLER

I WA HIS MASTER'S STUDENT IN 1976

I was a graduate student of Doctor Mergler at Case in the early sixties. He and the other staff there were inspirational in the development of computers. I still have a memory card the size of my hand that is an experimental one bit up-down counter. His combination of theory, practice and kindness was unmatched. He and some of the other Case faculty gave me a great launch for a career at IBM and Storage Tech, as well as amusement sailing.

Professor Mergler played a crucial part in my life. I arrived to the US with barely speaking English. He took me under his wings and offered me all the support through college and beyond. He shared his wisdom and knowledge through out the years. I was sitting this evening in Dubravnik, Croatia when he came to mind. I looked him up and was very sorry to see this. I would have liked to say goodbye to an amazing person. RIP Prof. Mergler.

Dear Myra, Marcia, and Harry,

You have my deepest sympathy and prayers for your loss.

Your loving father was awesome! He was my advisor for my PhD project at Case, which was developing the computer control for a Ship Frame Bending Machine during 1973-1976. He was also one of the very best professors I ever had (which is an exceedingly high compliment, because I had so many good profs as an undergrad and grad student at Case during 1967-1976). He clearly explained complex...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Thank you, Professor Mergler.
