Albert Alfred Merrill

Albert Alfred Merrill, 87, of Petoskey, died August 1, 2020.

Albert was born in Petoskey, the son of William and Adda (Plum) Merrill, on April 2, 1933. He attended Petoskey public schools and graduated in 1951. He joined the United States Navy the following year and proudly served his country during the Korean and Vietnam war-times.

After returning to Michigan, Albert began working as a truck driver for Dunstan Supply. He retired after 30 years of service. Although driving was his trade, Albert was a farmer at heart. He raised pigs and loved the long hours and hard work.
