I remember him being my doctor in Red Bluff in 1975 and him retiring in the 80's I think.

Thanks for all you did for me with what you knew.
Enjoyed being your neighbor and spending time with your family. It has been many years, still I remember a gentle man with a big heart.

Psalms 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Dr. Merhoff brought me into this world at St Elizibeth's Hospital on Main St in 1965. He was also my childhood doctor up into my teens. Father to one of my childhood friends living on Adobe Rd, we would find plenty of trouble together later on as teenagers. I know everyone in the Merhoff family and our deepest sympathy goes out to them all. RIP Dr. Merhoff.

Dr. was my doctor all through my childhood and teen years. I went to a pool part for Paul and Paul and Eric were good child hood friends. When they lived on Wilcox road. One time I was messing around the old bridge on adobe road and fell off fooling around with my bike. Dr Merhoff Said that is what you get for messing around a bridge. He saw me trough colds and measles So sorry he is gone.
