    So shocked and saddened with the sudden passing of Merv. I have many yesteryear memories of times spent with Merv, school, work at the SEC, football and Saturday nights, not at least bulldog clips at the SEC. Only Merv and I understand that. Very disappointed at not being able to attend Merv’s service on Monday,
    but my thoughts will be there farewelling him.

    So sad to hear that Merv has passed away. We were fortunate in getting to know him as we worked together on the renovations of two homes.
    He had a wonderful vision for the use of space and we still live in one of the homes. Sending our condolences to his family.
