News of the death on April 24, 2001 of
TOM MERGENTHALER comes from classmate, Bob Blochlinger. Bob writes that Tom's death came "...after battling cancer for almost six years. Tom, after being diagnosed with melanoma, never gave up the fight against it. I can only wish that I would be able to muster up half the courage and optimism that Mergs displayed. A couple of months ago, at the Atlantic City Boat Show, even after the cancer had traveled to his brain, he was looking at boats for when he got better. Sadly that day will never come to pass. \
Tom is survived by his wife Mary Ann and their two sons Thomas (8) and Matthew (3). He will be missed." An obituary appears in the April 27th Asbury Park Press. HREF="http://www.injersey.com/obits/">http://www.injersey.com/obits/
