Joe Merli : R.I.P.

Last Saturday, Joe Merli ended his long struggle with cancer.

Feb 17, 2016

Joe was a member of CDBA almost from the start. He was an extraordinary human being, as most of us are well aware - generous with his time and his talent. Today's Schenectady Gazette Obituary section gives a wonderful salute and send off to Joe. As many of you might recall, Joe was in a Buffalo hospital at the last Canal Street Station Fall Festival, where several CDBA members again this year set up and demonstrated both days. Joe was delighted that we all came and he thoroughly enjoyed seeing pictures from this, his last event. Calling hours at the White-VanBuren Funeral Home in Delanson are this coming Sat. (2/20) from 2-6 PM.
