James "J.J." Merlo

Miss you, Jim. I'm sure your sister has turned heaven upside down.

RIP dear friend. Your wife, children and grandchildren are faithfully carrying your tradition of care. A job well done, sir.

Jim was a great guy; always helpful. I'm sorry that my classmate, Janet lost her partner. My last memory of Jim was of him helping ladies in wheelchairs leave the last St. Ambrose Alumni breakfast. Typical of him. Many people are poorer for his ascension away from us-for now.

I´m a C B C ,56 GRADUATE WHO KNEW JIM IN PASSING AS I´M A NORTH ST LOUIS VS THE "HILL" neighborhood guy. My condolences to his family.I observe many similarities in our later lives and at 85 feel I´m becoming a member the LAST MAN´S CLUB of the 1952 grade school class leading to 1956 C B C. I´m sure he´s in heaven.

Jimmy was always active at church. And anything you ask of him he always agreed to do. I hope he has another life to continue with the things he enjoyed. Rosemary Sandhofer, Father Rico´s sister.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

J.J. was a dear friend and coworker for over 30 yrs. He was loved and respected by all who knew him, a feat not many can accomplish. He did it by just being his charming and funny self, all while being a great coworker and leader. Remembering you fondly during this time and know that you are already connecting with your old friends in heaven. Here's one last pie, albeit virtual, in your face!

Janet, Pat, Kay and family. I have no words of wisdom to share, only my love for all of you. Jim was the angel to many on earth; now he may enjoy eternal angelic presence. Our sorrow now feels like a tsunami hitting you. Know that you can withstand it by leaning with help from all around you. Linda Barni Hausman
