Too bad.  He was a nice guy.  Had the pleasure on a few occassions to meet Merlin and Deacon Jones at my uncles office.  I remember way back in the late 70's going to Merlin's car dealership to pretend to buy a car just to see him. Hey we have a ton of autographed stuff of Merlin's if anyone wants any.  Worth more now.

Did you ever sit next to him?

Yea on a few occassions for lunch.  Why?  Jealous?  Of course you are. Me is was just another lunch.  And Roman Gabriel though I never met him was Merlins business partner for awhile.  A fellow filipino, gay one though
