Vickie and family,
We extend our sincere condolences on the passing of Merle. We had the privilege of his and your hospitality a couple of years ago for a day of sidexsiding and "show and tell". We were so impressed by his sense of community and selflessness to be a steward of the land and visionary of the future of farming along with your entire family.
Your table of laminated photos at the sugarhouse left us appreciative of your love and devotion for such a humble man. The world has lost a good man, a good farmer and an exceptional sugarmaker as well as the family man we all envy to be. May the sun be on your face the wind at your back and the sap tanks always full for you Merle. Rest in peace my friend!

Vickie and family, I want to extend my sincere condolences to all of you. Merle will be greatly missed. He was the hardest working and most innovative farmer I have ever met. I loved talking sugaring and farming with him. He loved farming and he loved the “Kingdom”; but his love of you, Vickie was so obvious. May he Rest In Peace. Alan Fogg
