I was appointed as Headteacher at Glebelands School, Cranleigh in 1986 and often had occasion to seek Mervyn's advice and support at the South West Surrey Area Education Office. He always generous with his time and in all our dealings was able to bring a lightness of touch and good humour to what were sometimes contentious problems. He was sorely missed when he retired.

Organizations such as Guildford U3A depend heavily on people like Mervyn. He was not only an extremely able administrator and organizer but a delightful and congenial colleague and friend. He will be sorely missed.

I have many happy memories of Mervyn's U3A Wednesday morning walks - and the pub lunches afterwards! He was unfailingly friendly, courteous, welcoming and cheerful.
