I had a chance to spend some time with Tito Merlin during my short holiday in Texas. As known to all; he was very calm yet had loads of instant funny comments. Although he made me missed my flight; Tito Merlin remains as an unbeatable F1 driver in my wanderlust diary! :) Thank you Tito and have a lovely stay in heaven...

Tito Merlin, this message may have been too late but I always remember you in my payers. You have given me a great holiday, such a 'sweet driver & sweet lover' (*thats for Tita Cel ;) while my stay in texas but not forgetting the first flight i missed from my entire wanderlust diary! Still you stayed very calm & i can claim that you drove more an F1 winner for me... Thank you so much for the extra fun memories & have a lovely stay in heaven. love you!

I remember Merlin when he was still courting my ate Cel, he seldom talk but when he talk always with a smile. Merlin thank you for loving my ate Cel...our family will miss you...

Our deepest sympathy to Cruz Family. May peace and comfort find you during this difficult time...May his soul rest in peace. - Albert & Lucy Gomez and Family of Daly City California.

I will always remember your kindness. You will be greatly missed.

You will always be in our hearts, Yaying. May you rest in peace.

A good brother to me and our siblings. Though I was not able too see you for the last time, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss you.

My uncle and my ninong was a great man and will be missed tremendously. I have very fond memories of him from my childhood. Rest in peace Tito Yaying.

I was deeply saddened by the news of Tito Merlin's passing.  My heart felt condolence to his family.  Tito is such a great person, he will live on in our memories forever.

Tito Merlin will be greatly missed but always remembered for his warmth, kindness, and genuine smile.

We will surely miss the astounding smile of my brother in law Merlin. You are now in the hands of our Creator, journeying unto an everlasting life with God. Eternal rest grant unto Merlin, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. Amen.

I worked with Merlin while he was employed at Delta Tubular. It was a pleasure working with him, he always had a smile. My deepest sympathies go out to his family for their loss.

I really enjoyed Merlin and having lunch with him every 6 months or so, since he retired, was really special. We talked about old times and people we had not seen in years. He never said anything bad about anyone, eventhough I knew of a few he really didn't like. We updated each other about our lovely wifes and children. We shared our ups and downs in life, so I knew we were really good friends and cared about each other. I will truly miss him.
