Raymond J. Merkel

I can't thank you enough for having signed the guest book. It means a lot to all of us that are his immediate family. It also helps my mom to keep it together and hold on to great memories from old friends and neighbors. We're forever grateful for your thoughts and condolences,

Mrs. Merkel and Family,
While I was not there to grow up with Ted and his brothers on "Merkel Circle" I have been entertained by many stories of the good times that happened there. I am glad I was able to meet Mr. Merkel and feel the warmth that touched so many lives. I am so sorry for your loss.
Love, Gina Hill (Jim)

Our condolences to Sue Merkel and family, we are sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure working with Ray at Xerox during the 90's. His honesty and fairness to suppliers, as a buyer, was Ray's hallmark. His humor and wit were such a wonderful part of Ray. My wife and I will miss him. Tony and Charlene Poletto, Visalia, CA

To Todd and Mrs. Merkel my condolences to you and your family Mr. Merkel was a great father, grandfather and uncle. I enjoyed getting to know him. I am sorry for your loss. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers at this time. My thoughts are with you Devon Geen (Spencerport NY)

Dear Suzy and all of the Merkel Family. Please accept our deepest sympathy. For 23 years we lived next door to Ray and we have many warm and beautiful memories of all of you. We received a warm welcome to the neighborhood from Ray the day we moved in and every day since. We will cherish those memories.

To the Merkels,
We are sorry to hear about your loss. We will keep you in our prayers at this time.
Our thoughts are with you,
Laura and Kyle Burke
