    I am so sad about the passing of Tony Merrick. Without his marvelous expertise and helpful attitude I could never have seen my Maserati nearing completion in my lifetime. I considered Tony a friend and a world-class expert car guy. He was a skilled racer too and I am blessed to have shared the track with him when he came to Monterey to race with us.
    When I received his book recently I was super happy to see his exceptional life properly documented and he was able to provide me with his signature. Rest in peace Tony.

    I ordered the book and read it upon arrival. I enjoyed it very well especially reading about some of my friends that had some first hand relationship with Tony. I only wish I could have been so lucky. May he rest in peace.
