Timeline
Harry A. Merlo (March 5, 1925 – October 24, 2016) was an American businessman and philanthropist in the state of Oregon.
A native of California, he was chief executive of then Fortune 500 company Louisiana-Pacific after it was divested by forest products company Georgia-Pacific, which were both then headquartered in Portland, Oregon.

He grew up in Northern California in Stirling City where his mother ran a boarding house.
During World War II he was an officer in the United States Marine Corps.
He also graduated from the University of California, Berkeley.
After the war he started working in the timber business with Rounds and Kirkpatrick Lumber Company in 1949 where he remained until moving to Georgia-Pacific, another lumber company, in the 1960s.
He had one son, Harry Merlo Jr. Later in life he married Flo Newton.
Merlo worked for Georgia-Pacific when Louisiana-Pacific (LP) was divested in 1973.
