Casper L. "C.L." Mercer, passed away peacefully in his home on November 6, 2009, with his family by his side, after a courageous battle with cancer. C.L. was born on October 27, 1933 in Lumberton, NC to Casper R. "C.R." Mercer and Flossie Brisson Mercer. He is predeceased by his father, mother, four brothers, and one sister. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 53 years, Yvonne Hickman Mercer; son, Rick Mercer and wife Patty of Portsmouth, VA; daughter, Lisa Mercer and husband Danny Adams of Norfolk, VA; and the joys of his life, his grandchildren, Brooke and Connor Borkowski, also of Norfolk, VA. C.L. was a veteran of the Korean War, and retired from the Virginia State Alcohol and Beverage Control Board. In his retirement years, he loved to work in his yard, watch the Cowboys play, as well as NASCAR. C.L. enjoyed his daily visits with his friends at the Democratic Club in Ocean View, as he fondly referred to as the "watering hole." C.L. never met a stranger, and anyone who had the chance to meet him became a friend. He will be missed dearly by his loving family and friends. The Mercer family would like to thank the staff at Virginia Oncology Associates as well as the Sentara Hospice Staff who took such good care of him. A memorial service will be held at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Tidewater Drive Chapel on Monday at 11 a.m. Following the memorial service the family will receive friends at the Ocean View Democratic Club. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society in C.L. Mercer's name. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.hollomon-brown.com.
