I think of Merlin, I think FTD and the pick me up bouquet and the tickler bouquet.
To me he was the voice of FTD
 
The last time I was with him was at a Top 100 meeting in Arizona. His wife, Merlin, Buddy and I, and Mark and Jane Knox went up in a hot air balloon and had a wonderful day. Such nice and gracious people.

He will be missed.
 
What a gracious gentle Man, hard to believe he was a football player, he will definitely be remembered for his commercials for FTD. My husband bought me his football card back in the early 90's, he new how much it meant to me, Ill never forget him.........
 
wow
just the other day I found an FTD pamphlet he had autographed for us at an FTD conference back in the day.

He was a great flower spokesperson. Too bad we don't see promotions like that anymore.
 
FTD dropped the ball when they dropped Merlin. He was a lovely person and I'm sure he's in a better place and pain free now.
