Merlin Ladner
d. August 7, 2010
Merlin C. Ladner, 81, of Pass Christian passed away at home with his family at his bedside on Saturday, August 7, 2010.

Merlin was auto parts manager for Charlie Henderson Ford before going to Coast Electric Power where he retired in 1994. He was truly our ""Merlin-the-Magician."" He was an avid quail hunter and lifetime gardner. Merlin was a simple man of the earth who also enjoyed playing horseshoes and darts. He savored home cooking, and the loving comfort of his family at home.
