Much has been written about great men in history.
Bob Merriman was not in the history books
but to all that knew him he was truly a great man.
Bob was dignified, humble, honest, and fair to all; anyone in his presence felt they were of great value.
In both hardship and success,

We are forever richer for having known this amazing man!
