I miss you dad. You were my buddy and integral in my successes. I wish I could kiss your forehead one more time. You're loved.
I want to express my sincere condolences to Merle's family and especially to the grandchildren. I have known Merle for many years and although we haven't crossed paths often over the years, i always enjoyed our talks and catching up on what was going on in our lives. I always enjoyed his upbeat sense of humour and I will enjoy the memories that will carry on.
My condolences to Merle's family. I knew Merle for many years and will miss him.
Sincere condolences upon the death of Merle. He loved nature and people, and was definitely one of the good guys.
Merle was my dear friend for most of my life. I will miss him terribly. When I was young and extremely foolish, he was sensible and understanding. He was a wonderful friend. Every time we saw each other, no matter how long it had been, it was like we had never been apart. He was a great storyteller with a true appreciation of the absurd and had a whimsical sense of humour. He often signed his letters or emails "May the force be with you". Now that he has left this troublesome life behind, may the force truly be with him!
Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Merle Harth from his friends at Nature Regina
