It was with deep sorrow that I heard of the passing of Merv. He was what I could only describe as a character who cherished life and made sure that he lived it to the fullest. He had a great sense of humor and a unique ability to get to the heart of a manner in very few words.
To the Mason family please accept my sincere condolences and know that Merv will always have a very special place in my heart and will be remembered in my prayers.
