Elmer “Merl” Wilhelm, RIP

Merl Wilhelm

July 14, 1934-April 6, 2010

We’ll miss seeing you buzzing around the garden.  Merle had his chair rigged for trash collection, and was the eyes and ears for our block.  A good man and proud American. Our thoughts go out to the family.

  1. It’s been a rough week in the neighborhood.

    Next door neighbor Paul’s mother passed over in Wisconsin and across the street neighbor Pat’s mother, Sarah Berneice Williams, passed over last Friday.
    “Neicy” lived in the hood also..

  2. PS.. Pat was telling me that her mother has told her that if she had to go, she wanted to go while the azelias were in bloom, thus the obit photo.
