Merlin Beil, a long standing FMHA Board member who left the Board earlier this year, passed away on December 2nd. Quoting from Merlin’s obituary in the Cape Gazette: “Mr. Beil proudly served in the National Guard and served at Fort Miles from 1956-57. He was a member of the Fort Miles Historical Association and Masonic Order Lodge #767. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in Mr. Beil’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America or to Fort Miles Historical Association.”
Merlin is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Yvonne, three children and five grandchildren. Merlin and Yvonne were active volunteers at FMHA. Merlin will be deeply missed for his professionalism, kindness and can-do spirit.
