Biography contributed by Sharon Hull

Merv has always lived in WA.  Married Alice after meeting her at a dance.  He drove a motorbike with a side car before a vehicle was purchased when the children arrived.  They built their own home by making their own bricks.  He worked at Metters and then Steelmains before it became Humes, as a furnace operator.  He retired and took up golf and annual overseas holidays with Alice until his late 80's. He kept a very healthy lifestyle and was never prescribed any full-time medication.  He left his family home of 67 years to enter aged care, dying at 93.
