It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the passing of a Merli Legend. San Diego General Manager John Caole. John came to Merli Concrete Pumping in 1973, running belt conveyors throughout Southern California. Immediately, Steve Merli Sr. saw something special in him and asked him to expand Merli Concrete Pumping into the San Diego market. As the years passed John turned Merli San Diego into one of the most organized and well run Concrete Pumping yards in the entire Nation. John is now in heaven with his beloved son Justin. Rest In Peace Johnny!
