Wayne Mergott Obituary

Beloved "Dad", "Pop", "Granddad", "Great-Dad-Dad", "Uncle Stan;" we love you and we will miss you. You and Mom taught us the importance of family over the 64 years you were married. You were always there for us caring, loving, supporting and cheering us on.

You gave us so many wonderful memories - you taught us to love the great outdoors - fishing, hunting, swimming, camping, golfing, skiing, RVing and appreciating God's magnificent creation. Thank You!

You were one of the "Greatest Generation", living through the depression, serving in World War II as a medic, and working faithfully and successfully for Sears for 40 years.

You shared your love of God and faith in Jesus Christ with us. Now God has kept His promise of Eternal Life and you are reunited with Mom and your loved ones in Heaven. We praise God that you and Mom were a part of our lives for so many wonderful years.

Wayne Stanley Mergott was born, December 11, 1915 in Kenilworth, N. J. to Lulu Endy Fisher and W. E. Mergott. He died in Palm Desert, Sept. 9, 2006.

He was preceded in death by his three brothers, Jack, Erwin, and Nelson and his beloved wife, Louise Springer.

He is survived by his three children, Wayne Mergott of Watertown, N. Y., Jim Mergott of Spicer Minn. and Jan Garrard of Palm Desert; 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. November 10, 2006 at the Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church.
