"Dear Diane and family, Dick and I send our thoughts and prayers your way during this very difficult time. We both were very fond of Merlyn and respected him greatly. Dick enjoyed working with Merlyn at Bass Lake CC and found him to be a brilliant mechanic. Merlyn was an honest and hard working man with a dry sense of humor. He will be missed by so many at Bass Lake."
