Dear Helen, Robin, Carla, Larry, Kim, spouses, grandchildren and great grandchildren, My deepest sympathies for the passing of Merle. He was one of my favorite Uncles and I know that my mom and dad really enjoyed Marle, too. I always remember the ball games at Uhing reunions in which all of the cousins and Merle and my dad played. I also remember the summers going down to St Charles and catching a Cardinal game, all because Uncle Merle arranged it. I will miss Uncle Merle. Randy Petersen

Dear Aunt Helen so sorry to here about Uncle Merle passing away. He will be dearly missed, and never forgotten! With all my Love Cathy

DEAR HELEN AND FAMILY,SO SORRY TO LEARN OF MERLE'S PASSING.MERLE WAS SUCH A SWEET PERSON AND WE NEVER SAW HIM WITHOUT A SMILE ON HIS FACE.GOD BLESS HIS SOUL AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU HE LEFT BEHIND.

Sincere sympathies to the Barr Family on Merle's passing. A humble man of true faith, a good Husband and Father, a thoughtful friend and Master woodworker; who shared his creations with many. He truly enjoyed life and when declining health came, he took that in stride. I was honored to call him a friend. Eternal rest grant to him O Lord.

I always enjoyed working with Merle during his time at Cooper Station. He will certainly be missed.

So sorry to hear of Merle's passing. Prayers for comfort.

Condolences to the family of Merle Barr. Have known Merle and his family for a very long time. He always had a smile on his face and something funny to say!
