He was united in marriage to Donna Nail on June 12, 1954. The couple farmed southeast of Victor until 1964. They moved to Victor and they owned and operated Victor Implement and Seed for 10 years.

Merlin was one who did things his own way. He was a hard-worker and he taught his children this quality among the other fundamentals of life. He loved music, especially Country Western and Big Band. His enjoyments included cooking, grilling, gardening, snowmobiling, playing his harmonica, and golfing.
