So shocked and saddened with the sudden passing of Merv. I have many yesteryear memories of times spent with Merv, school, work at the SEC, football and Saturday nights, not at least bulldog clips at the SEC. Only Merv and I understand that. Very disappointed at not being able to attend Merv’s service on Monday,
but my thoughts will be there farewelling him.

So sad to hear that Merv has passed away. We were fortunate in getting to know him as we worked together on the renovations of two homes.
He had a wonderful vision for the use of space and we still live in one of the homes. Sending our condolences to his family.

Deepest sympathy to all Merv ‘s family.
Merv was a generous and kind friend.
We have fond memories and fun times with Merv at regular Castlmaine Jazz Jams at the Maurocco Bar Castlemaine and Church on the Hill in Bendigo.
Merv volunteered at Castlemaine Jazz Festival most years.
We also caught up with Merv most Friday nights at Belmont Hotel Bendigo for dinner and music and numerous other music venues from time to time.
Fly high Merv
