My condolence to the family of Vernon Merritt. I worked for him at the start-up of his radio station WDZZ. Vern was a very kind and generous man with a wealth of knowledge. He gave me my start in radio, he said you have to have a passion for radio to stay. I found my passion for radio and I'm still in the business. Rest in peace Mr. Merritt!

I knew Vernon when we were at Flint Central HS1959to 1961. We were good friends. He once loaned me his car when my car broke down, so I could drive to Detorit to get Tiger game tickets. I had not seen hi, since hs graduation. Vernon was the kindest of souls, a gentleman's gentleman, the best of what a friend is.
