Dr. James Merlo

Dr. James Merlo was one of the best old school respected Dentist. He did my teeth back in the late 70s to early 80s. I still get compliments on my smile. He was the best; I miss him. He does have a daughter, Dr. Mary Merlo-Murrison who´s doing a great job of following in his footsteps.

Still miss him and Jo.

Condolences in JESUS' Name to a great Calumet City resident. Dr. Jim was Reta's & my dentist in the 1960's. Rest in peace, dear one in The LORD.

My most sincere condolence to the entire Merlo family. I have know Jim since we both started our practices at the 30 North building. We shared working with some of the best dental specialists in Chicago. Jim was among the best dentists around. I will miss my old friend.

To the Merlo family,
I have known the Merlo family all of my life and have so many memories of them at the Douglas Avenue address in Cal City which was two doors from my family's (Piccirilli) home. My he rest in peace and be reunited with his wife, parents and siblings. My deepest sympathies.

Rest in Peace Dr. Merlo. I have many fond childhood memories of you. You were one of my Dad's closest friends. Now the two of you can play golf together again in heaven. ☺

Dr. Merlo was a great dentist. You could always trust that he would do a great job. I was a patient in Munster and Chicago for many years. May his memory be eternal.

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

Life has many blessings. You often hear the comment "I don't like going to the Dentist" Well I never could say that, even thru literally dozens of root canals, replace that CAP or make a new partial, I always looked forward to seeing Jim and his great crew. He was a kind man with a great family. I starts with Jim when he opened his first office in the Calumet National Bank assisting him by installing a sound system in the office. I'm sure the family will carry on his legacy. My sincere...
