Mervin loved going to farm sales, morning coffee, and the ritual Sunday morning coffee at “Baldy's” with all his buddies. Merv always looked forward to Czech Days. He loved working at the brat stand and visiting with everyone. Merv spent his entire life on the family farm where he worked closely with his father and son. Planting and harvesting were his favorite times of the year. He had a genuine love for working the land.
Mervin was a jokester and loved to tease his nieces and nephews. He also had loved his most recent trips and cruises with his gilrfriend Anita. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

As Merv would say... “Later”
