Hospital, where he
served as the chief of the Department
of Anesthesiology from 1981-1996 and
president of South Oakland Anesthesia
Associates from 2000-2005. Dr. Merkle
had a thirst for learning and teaching,
which he shared with all who knew
him. His remarkable calm, kind and
professional demeanor made him an
asset to both his medical team and
patients alike.
While greatly respected by his col-
leagues for his superb clinical skills
and dedication, his greatest source
of joy came from being a deeply
committed son, husband, father and
grandfather. He shared 50 happy years
with his wife, Linda, building a fam-
ily and traveling the world together.
He treasured spending time with his
daughters, sons-in-law and grand-
children, taking family vacations,
skiing, fishing, gardening, golfing
and playing tennis. He deeply valued
his longstanding bonds with many
close friends and the families of his
sons-in-law. He shared his enthusiasm
and optimism for life with everyone
around him.
Dr. Merkle is survived by his
beloved wife, Linda Merkle of West
Bloomfield; daughters and sons-in-
law, Dr. Laura and Michael Gruskin
of Franklin, Dr. Suzanne Merkle and
Dr. Alan Silverman of Bloomfield
Hills, Karen Merkle and Michael
Finkelstein of West Bloomfield; grand-
children Eric, Alexander and Nikolas
Gruskin, Brittany, Bradley and Jenna
Silverman, and Alexandra, Jackson
and Julia Finkelstein; brothers-in-law
and sister-in-law Dr. Lary and Janice
Berkower, and Dr. Morrie Dubin;
many loving nieces, nephews, friends
and colleagues.
He was the son of the late Sam and
the late Elsie Merkle; son-in-law of the
late Saul and the late Alice Berkower;
brother of the late Phyllis Dubin.
