Wow, something reminded me of him the other day and I was wondering if he was still around.
May he RIP.

He had a lot of funny and witty comments. I remember how he would joke about how he looked while they were rebuilding his nose.
Sad to hear of his passing.

I am sorry to hear of his passing, and send my prayers for the comfort of his loved ones left behind.
He was an interesting character, with a lot of fun stories. I was sorry that he was banned. Never learned why, but suspect it was because he expressed his religious views too strongly one time too many. (Religion being one of the forum's banned topics.)
Rest in peace, ferilmerrill.

Sorry to hear that. As a long time lurker, before I joined, he was a favorite of mine. His posts were always worth the time.
We are diminished. RIP

I saw that on the Colt Forum where he posted often, usually about his ex-wife absconding with his Audie Murphy Colt Single Action.
I think it was racial issues that got him bounced here.
Condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear that. I moved to Cedar City, UT. almost 4 years
ago. I bumped into him at one of the pawn shops in town. We
got to talking and found out we both liked S&W revolvers. He
told me he used to be on this Forum, but got bounced due to
his postings on taboo subjects. We even had lunch at the
local Ihop and he told me about his nose too. Nice guy, very
interesting. Sad to hear of his passing.

Merrill was a fun guy to read. He was full of wild tales and escapades, that always had the ring of truth. I enjoyed him while he was here, and missed him after he was gone. RIP

Merril always had some great adventures to share. I only hope that his life was the adventure he shared with us.

Thank you to Handejector for giving Feralmerrill the Absent Comrade rating even though he had been a banned member.
Feralmerrill was quite the character and it's unfortunate that he didn't abide by the Forum rules. My condolences to his family and his stories and tales will certainly be missed.

Darn, Merrill was a heck of a guy and fun to talk to. I still have his uncle's Luger Holster he sold be a long time ago and some history on his uncle.
I wondered why we haven't heard from him.
