R.I.P.  Dave,
        You were one of the finer people I have met in life.    
  My condolences to you Paul and the rest of the family

We were honored to have David as part of our family, and so many of our fondest memories, from big events to small everyday life, include him.  He was always there with a big smile, light- hearted conversation, and a helping hand.  His presence always added a special touch to our Thanksgiving trips to Sanibel.  We will miss him dearly! Love, Bill and Kathy

Welp, Dave you took me in when I was 15 years old and you were like a second father to me!. It hurts my heart to know that you are gone but I know you were up there with Mom looking down on Paul and I laughing it up and enjoying your time together. If it wasn't for the Merrill family, you and Christy, I wouldn't be where I am today you are a great man, a great father to me and Paul at the same time. You took me in and treated me like your own daughter and for that I am forever thankful !... 
until I see you again rest easy my friend, second father and you will forever be in my thoughts and in my heart. Tell my mom I said hey. I love you and I will see you again soon.

Dave was without doubt my best friend in my whole life. Many, many memories that I will never forget that we shared together throughout our lives. He was a good man and father that will be truly be missed. I love you brother and I will see you in heaven. Prayers and strength to the family through this difficult time. 

Known him for most of my life.  Always thought he was a handsome devil! If it wasn’t for David I might not have met my husband. Even though we didn’t see him as much as we would have liked, he was still part of our family. We love you David and you will be missed.  Our Deepest sympathy to all the family.

All the softball game, bowling leagues, canoe  trips, times over at Uncle Bob's, riding in your GTX. I will miss you my friend. I pray I'll see you  on the other side!

"Hey Paw" miss the hundreds (probably thousands) of hours out under the tree out front, gabbing about everything, from mowing the lawn to  cars, bikes, family (especially when the women were inside) and how bad you were at golf. Thanks for listening.

Love Joe
