served as the chief of the Department

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

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.

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
