Leonard Merrick passed away quietly on January 19th with the sounds of all his family around him. He had battled valiantly with illness for some time. His role as Principal of the family business began in earnest in the Summer of 1969 when his father-in-law, Matthew Baker, became critically ill. We know many of our long and short term customers knew Len very well as he always played a vey active roll in the business. We don’t think he ever retired!
