Merl was a living angel, no doubt! Merls personal quotes helped me stay sober and I was able to share his messages with many others on a daily basis until it was too much for him. He will NEVER be forgotten. Wish I could have said goodbye. I know how he loved Carol and his grand children, they were everything to him.

I worked with Merl all those years he was a City of Tulsa Judge. He was always one of my favorites. Bill and I used to say there was a special place in heaven for Merl because of all the many people he helped. He had a kind and loving soul and will be missed.

Merl would frequently get a twinkle in his eye to let you know he was having fun and wanted more of it. Merl and Carol were always a positive addition to the Scouting program.

I went to TU Law School with Merl and he was my moot court partner in our Mock Trial class. I enjoyed working with Merl in the preparation of our case. I also had a chance to appear before him when he was a City of Tulsa judge and admired the way he handled his docket and the very professional way he treated attorneys, defendants and witnesses. He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.

I know Merl from Troop 1 scouting. I have fond memories of Merl's, "Voice of the Eagle" during Court of Honors as well as his famous, "homesick pills" (Benedryl) for younger scouts on campouts. I also think Merl may have made a few phone calls on my behalf and got me out of speeding ticket in high school. Prayers to Merl's family during this time of grieving. He will be missed by all.

So sorry to hear this. Merl taught me to be a BBQ judge in 2009. I have tried to judge as he taught me.

Dear Carol and family, My heart goes out to you. Merl had such a kind heart and always willing to help anyone he could. His daily inspirational quotes helped me stay sober and brought me hope every day. He will be missed. Sending love & prayers.
