Dear Wayne and Family, I'm so sorry for the loss of this good and kind man. I have wonderful memories of Judd and his guidance and support for his teachers and for the children in his schools. He always found time to listen and share his experiences for the betterment of the children and their learning. He will be missed by all.

Dear Wayne, Marsha, and Family,Judd was a good man... as a principal at Red Oak, as a landlord on West Greenwood St., and especially as a role model. We were a young staff at Red Oak, and he took us under his wing. Most importantly though, we remember his passion for his family. Wayne, you were his queen. And he would do (and did do) anything for his children. He was a great example for those of us who would have our own families later. He was good man, whose lessons are well remembered.

My sincere sympathies to the Merrill family. I have fond memories of Mr. Merrill. I taught at the then Red Oak School in Merrimac MA and he hired me when I was 24. I spent the next 37 years teaching at that school and will forever be grateful that he hired me to be one of his special education teachers. He would come into my office to chat frequently and I heard lots of stories about his children and his wife. You could tell he was a real family man! May he rest in peace! My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Marsha, I was so saddened to learn of the passing of your Dad. I remember days at Pentucket and visiting at your home when Kuniko and Motoko were living with your family from Japan my senior year. My Dad (Jack Shanahan) thought the world of your father and they certainly loved their long chats curing the problems Pentucket faced! Then I was fortunate to know Judd as my principal at Red Oak School. Sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Rest easy, Mr. Merrill... You were one of a kind!
