Robert M. Merson

Bob was a gift to our community, a man who personified class and selflessness. I, among so many others, am blessed to have known him. The memorial service was as moving and beautiful as I can ever remember. Baruch Dayan Emet

Bob was always a builder -- building his company, building relationships and building the confidence of others. I have and will always remember the great example he showed during the years working with him at Southern Electric and Rexel. He will be missed. Rest in peace.

Because Bob believed in me and gave me a chance, it has had an everlasting effect on my life.
He will be sorely missed, God bless him.

Rest in peace

Love and prayers for Bob and Arlene - from Arlene's high school class of 1958, Meridian, MS High School.
