I have wonderful fond memories of this man since the age of 12 when he repaired my knee from a devastating injury. Then through the many many years of working with him at St. Francis Hospital in Surgery/Pacu. I always cared deeply about him and always loved being one of his "tomatoes". God bless you and your family as you travel the days and years ahead. May he always bless you with rich meaningful memories:).

Dr Merkert was an amazing doctor and friend to my sister and I when we were children, and our father Allen. He truly was one of a kind.

Some of my best childhood memories were the times I spent with Dr. Merkert and my father, W. Allen Spurgeon. After my dad died, when I was only 8, Dr. Merkert continued to look after my family and let two fatherless girls join him on his many outdoor adventures. I am also forever grateful for the dexterity he demonstrated stiching up my forehead following a Big Wheel accident. He was a truly wonderful man who touched the lives of everyone he met. My thoughts are with the Merkert family.

Dr. Merkert saved my feet when I was born. My Mother worked along with him on the hockey team. If it wasn't for Dr. Merkert I wouldn't be walking today. Bless you and your family. There isn't a day when I am not grateful for his hard work.

I will always have fond memories of Dr. Merkert as my favorite doctor. As my orthopedic doctor, I had regular visits with him as a child. I will always remember him as very kind and sweet with me. God bless.

Karin and family, Dr. Merkert was a very special part of my life. Preformed and over seen several of my surgeries and a very dear family friend. He will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Paula Stock

Karen, Bud was one of the first physicians we met when we came to Colorado Springs in 1960 and was always one of Al's valued colleagues--and a great skiing and golf buddy. We always enjoyed seeing you both at concerts, but my favorite memory is of the two of you joyful at the lovely celebration of your 25th wedding anniversary. I know you have many memories to keep him always alive in your heart. I will keep you and all the family in my thoughts and prayers. Marjorie Rapp

To the Merkert Family,
I will never forget the multiple times Dr. Merkert helped my mother Laura Adler in her extreme and painful suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis all her life until she passed from its' side effects at the age of 53 in 1974. There was no other doctor that my mother ever wanted to see for the countless bone and joint operations she had over so many years. If Dr. Merkert had not performed these surgeries to help her to have a reasonably functioning life, she would not have been able to keep walking and would have been in a wheelchair decades before her passing. That was not something my mother would ever agree to! She adored Dr. Merkert and I am grateful for all the good he has done to help so many people overcome pain and adversity. My sincere condolences.
