Werner Merlo 1939- July 21, 2022
Dear Kamerade and friends of the ESMC;
It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Werner Merlo passed away earlier today. On behalf of the Choir and especially myself I would like to extend our deepest condolences to his spouse Susi, sons Stephan and Daniel and the family.
Werner was a founding member of the ESMC. He would have been 83 in December. Susi and him were also longtime members of the Edmonton Swiss Society. Werner was a first tenor and helped along many new singers when they joined our choir. He’ll be missed and may he RIP.
Unfortunately he was dealing with some health issues over the last several months. He was in the hospital for the past 2 weeks and scheduled to go home tomorrow but this wasn’t to be.
There will be a small family funeral and possibly at a later date the family might have a Celebration of Life for Werner.
We wish his family strength, courage and confidence through this sad time and the memories will prevail.
Silent regards.
Hans
