My sincere sympathies to all of Mervyn's loved ones. I have treasured memories of Sentry Hill and Lepperton days when our families were very close, more than 60 years ago now. More recently my wife and I admired your wonderful garden in Inglewood. You made your mark Mervyn and left a wonderful legacy. My thoughts are with you all, Stewart.

Much love and condolences to Mervyn and Maureen´s family.
They were very regular customers when I had AnnieKims Cafe. And used to mow our lawns at home and do some gardening when they decided it was looking a bit rough.
Their own garden was so awesome.
Such a lovely couple. And very proud of their family.
Many happy memories for you to hold forever in your hearts.
