Merrill was a good friend of mine and a real colleague when discussing pertinent life issues. He and I lived in the same building for several years. Before the pandemic we very frequently would meet either in the community room or in the garden area to laugh about multiple issues and situations. Merrill was his own man, an independent thinker, who loved this country and fearlessly defended his beliefs. While he was blessed to live a long life Merrill will be missed by many who tried to take the time to absorb the real substance of the man. There is no question that he experienced a very interesting life but kept much of it professionally private. May Merrill Primack rest in peace, Dr. Milt Kobus
