A great mate and genuine legend, taken too soon.

We are devastated by the sad news of the loss of Mervyn.
We both held him in the highest respect and valued his friendship so much.
Dennis sought his advice many times on matters related to farming .
He was always generous with his time and support and Dennis considered him a true friend .
When we left the gorge yours was the family we missed the most .
Love
