My mom lost her life partner, travel companion, caretaker, and fixer of all the things. We lost our rock. He was the best dad a girl could ever wish for. He was there for me unconditionally 24/7 and we will miss him so much. He did not suffer because he went so fast, but we will suffer because he went too soon. We love you dad, forever.

My sincere condolences to Diana and family. I had the privilege to work with Merrill at Toyota and his contribution to the success of the plant was significant. His steady leadership was a huge influence to all who had the opportunity to work with him. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers to all the family. Sincerely
