I still can’t believe I won’t see Merv working over on his block anymore … it won’t be the same.
He was a lovely man, always so friendly and up for a chat, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
My sincere sympathy to Wilma and all of Merv’s family.

You will be missed dearly uncle Merv. It’s hard to find a great man to look up to in life, but you were one of them.
I will always remember and admire your strength and kindness.
PS – I’m still convinced that it was you in the scene in Jumanji when Robin Williams emerges from the jungle.
Rest easy mate. Love you.
