RICHARD "DICK" MERGO

You are not for gotten my friend and mentor...you shared so much with me that continues to help so many people in so many ways....your knowledge, experience and insightfullness has carried on...rest easy Dick...and I know you are watching us all down here!

One year later I just heard of Dick's passing. I've often thought about him and his team at Forest City Home Centers in Detroit while I was a buyer/merchandiser at the Cleveland, Ohio Office. Dick was a true merchant with a strong business acumen. He was always thinking ahead while being the best at follow-through. He could also be the toughest guy at the conference table in meetings ~ not a popular role but a necessary role and we respected him for this. I will always remember him as one of...

You were the greatest father-in-law any person could have every asked for! My parents past almost 40 years ago but you gave me as much unconditional love as any regular son could ever receive. You always would call checking to see how I was. I will never forget when I had to take a job in Tennessee alone you would call me every day Monday-Friday as soon as I got off. Even some late night shifts at 10pm your time. You´d ask everyday what time tomorrow I´ll be off so you can call on time....

My deepest condolences to the Mergo family. I met Richard over a business lunch in 1997. We talked about being successful and Richard told me that a customer really knows how good you are when there is a problem. May he Rest In Peace
