Wayne Merritt Obituary

Dear Wayne, your fondly missed. You where one of the good guys. Love you always Janice

Hey Chuck, as I often called you.



I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry that I found out so late about you passing. The last time I saw you, you were stacking up the squat machine with hundreds of pounds and asked me for a spot. You trained heavy like me and we loved that challenge, although the gym hated us for that!

I remember you loading that T-bar row all the time and I was telling you how crazy you were. We had many good talks at the ol' World Gym. I wonder if your in heaven walking around with that weightlifting journal I'd always see you with.

I still can't believe your gone. I used to call you Chuck Norris all the time and before I knew your name I would refer to you as Big Chuck! I'm glad I got to know you and your real name for that matter and we became good friends after that. Although our friendship was only in the gym I still miss you gone. I remember that black race car of yours, you were always talking about it. You also always talked about your son, you really loved him. I hope you rest in peace and I hope your still training with those big weights you animal - I wonder if heaven has those protein shakes! R.I.P. Brother!

Dear Laurene, Rachel & Jeremy,



We here in Red Lion do send our sympathies to all of you and Wayne's Mother & Sister. Wayne was a good guy and always had a 'good humor' joke for us. He was so very proud of you, Jeremy and you as well, Rachel and Little Joshua. In the end, you will realize by his teachings to you that he (as your Dad) wished to help you find the way his own way. He will be missed by all of us.



Wayne is in the wind now and always,



Love, Auntie Paulette & Uncle Jay

Dear Jeremy, Lauri and Rachel, I was so very saddened to hear about Wayne. We all send our deepest sympathies for his untimely death. Jeremy, you were the apple of your dad's eye! He loved you and your sister and was so proud of you. We fondly remember Wayne and his help in getting Griffin on the Pop Warner football team -- we had just moved to Monroe 5 days before we stopped by Fireman's Field to ask if Grif could play, and he and Vinny Capra made it work so he could join the team. The beginning of a fun time for all, and many thanks to Wayne for his help. He was one of the first people I met in Monroe, and I remember you all with great kindness. May your dad rest in peace and know he touched the lives of many kids with his volunteering. God bless, The Pfalzgraf Family
