Neil Mertz Leaves Legacy of Competition, Business and Family

NORTHUMBERLAND — A Point Township man, who one might say was the very definition of ‘living life to the fullest’ has died. Neil Mertz died Sunday, he was 90.

Known as an avid trap shooting competitor for 50 years, businessman and owner of the Mertz Rod and Gun Store, and leader at the Norry Gun Club, is perhaps best known as a family man.

We’ll have lots more to say about Neil later this week, and when arrangements are made.
