Mervyn was born in Winnipeg (St. Vital), Manitoba November 10, 1947, where he attended primary and secondary schools, becoming a registered respiratory technologist at Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg (1970). He worked in that profession in Victoria (BC), Adelaide (Australia) returning to Victoria, then on to Vancouver and Edmonton. After moving to Summerland, BC, in 1993, he was employed in a number of Okanagan Valley wine shops and conducting wine tours. Many will remember him as a driver for Summerland Taxi over a number of years.
His many friends and acquaintances will remember his ability to spread joy and laughter, his culinary abilities, his sense of humour and his infectious good cheer.
A Celebration of Life will be held some time in 2021 when it is safe to meet again.

"Sense of humour and his infectious good cheer"; for sure! I worked with Mervyn in the respiratory Technology Department at the Winnipeg General Hospital. Later on I remember Mervyn giving me a ride to U of M in his 'then' Mercedes. The last time I saw him was when he was was in Vancouver headed to Australia. All good memories. - Posted by: len alexiuk (coworker) on: May 22, 2021
