My Merle passed away this morning peacefully surrounded by his loved ones after a long hard battle with his health.Today April 6, 2016, which was his 79th birthday. He left to go to a much better place.He was the best singer, songwriter and performer I’ve ever seen. Not only did he write the songs he sang, he was the music.I will miss him forever.
