So sorry to hear of Mert's passing . We were neighbors in Vernon Hills and always enjoyed his company. We lived across from one another and would leave our doors open so our Siamese cat Yo could visit Mert. He was a great guy. Hope all the doors are open Mert

I worked with Mert at the City of Chicago, and he was one of the more patient electricians when it came to young traffic engineers like myself.
So long, Mert! May you get green lights all the way to the Gate!
