12、his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he and his wife, Annette Merry, lived for 46 years and raised three children.

13、er to get around and the Merrys decided to move into assisted living.

18、 the tools for free. BTim Mas parents came to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s. They opened a restaurant. It was not a success.
