Nice that Jami Gertz says all these nice things about this wonderful guy, then adds "I guess I didn't really know him" - sounds like a slam on his getting HIV - not nice.
I just googled Merritt's name while watching "Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan" where Merritt was Captain Kirk's illegitimate son. This was a very nice, heartfelt tribute to an obviously much liked guy who died way too young. I was living with a girl I truly loved who loved "Square Pegs" and watched it every chance she had. It's weird how one person would describe him as troubled and others call him a warm, funny, free spirit. AIDS was and is a terrible disease too many Americans have forgotten.
Hi John Femia! This is Randy Black. You did a fine job of remembering Merritt. I'm sorry he died so young. There seems to be a great interest in what has happened to cast members. I'll find another way to contact you.

Does anyone know how long he was suffering from AIDS? I thought it happened after Square Pegs

There are a bunch of Merritt's high school friends that really appreciate all of the remembrances and nice comments.
