Always so happy and positive whenever I saw him. This is over thirty years ago at my 18th when he thought he was doing a magic trick and ended up with soot on his face. Such a lovely man- I am so sorry I can’t be at the funeral. My thoughts are with you.

We are remembering Merv with great affection. Always with a cheerful smile on his face, quick to laugh at Andy's daft jokes and happy to give Petra driving advice
and Austin magazines. He will be missed greatly at choir events at which he was always happy to take charge in the kitchen and organise things expertly and also at Fran's coffee mornings where he always popped his head in and made us laugh, or happily served us tea and coffee and cakes at choir coffee mornings hosted by him and Fran. A great guy to have known.

Mervyn gave me my first job in the auto trade, and ill never forget that. They were great times at London Road, with great people, and the opportunity Meryn gave me has led to good things and I will be forever grateful.RIP

Words cannot express how much we loved this man. So kind, generous of his time and support. Not so much with the quality of his lager at Christmas parties I.e Tesco value !! He could always be relied on to eat every dessert offered and sometimes seconds. Our lives are better for knowing him. He will be so missed by
all our family. Xxx
