He is survived by a loving family; his wife of 28 years, Laura J. Yelton Merson; four daughters - Ashley M. and her husband Derek Sadowski, Victoria L. and her husband James Harris, Molly K., and Lillian G. C. Merson; and one granddaughter, Stella Mai Sadowski. Also surviving are his parents Clarence and Ruth Woods of Severn; two brothers Robert Merson of Pasadena and Clarence Woods of Glen Burnie; three sisters, Della Voss of Glen Burnie, Donna Hart and Cyndi Smith both of Severn.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Merson family. It's not going to be the same visiting my parents and not seeing Mr. Ed doing something around the yard..

Ed was the best neighbor and friend any one could ask for. Even when things were at the worst, Ed would always have a smile on his face and find something good in the situation. He was a kind and gentle man who would give you the shirt off his back. If you needed anything to be fixed, he would drop what he was doing to help. Ed was a hard working man, never stopping. He loved life! We will surely miss him and everytime we look over to his home, we will have a smile on our face remembering the good soul that he was.
