In Memoriam - John Merow AO and Mary Merow

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the tragic death of John Merow AO, Senior Counsel at Sullivan & Cromwell and his wife Mary, who passed away early Saturday morning in an apartment fire.

John served as the second Chairman of the American Australian Association from 1986 to 1999.  He was a kind and generous man who was much loved by all who met him.  We are deeply sorry for the loss and extend our condolences to their daughter Alison.

The funeral for both Mr. and Mrs. John Merow will be held at Saint Thomas Church at One West 53rd Street on Wednesday, January 23, at 10:30 a.m.

The family is requesting that flowers not be sent to the church. In lieu of flowers, people can make donations to:
Council on Foreign Relations (John's organization)
Learning Ally (Mary Alyce's organization)
