Mervyn GLUE Obituary

A great and caring character who always made me smile.

I remember Mervyn from Christchurch Technical College when I was going through a very difficult and angry stage of my life. He was the only person who seemed to believe in me, and who encouraged me. Years later I was also working in the legal field, in Clarendon Tower, and was able to tell him how much his encouragement so many years ago, had meant to me. A gentleman, and a true inspiration. My condolences to his family.

Annette, Christchrch

A talented actor and lawyer who will be remembered fondly by all. Condolences to all the family.

Great teacher Christchurch tech 1958-59

A wonderfully talented Thespian who will be surely missed on the boards.

Dear Jenepher,
My deep condolences for the loss of one of our cities special people. He was a great friend support and mentor to me, and my favourite customer at Gnomes. I am unfortunately in France and will be Unable to attend his funeral, however my thoughts will be with you on the day

Many good memories of an amazing boss - an interesting job when I was only 18 and introduced to the other side of life. It was an education I will never forget. RIP Mervyn.

My condolences to Jenephur and Mervyn's relatives. My association was purely thespian. I was first on stage with him in Julius Caesar in the early 60s and in Romeo and Juliet jn the late 90s, with several plays in between. He was larger than life, and his obituaries reveal much about the rest of his life i did not know. I hope he was happy in exile from quake-ridden Christchurch

thinking of you at this time. remember all the crossword puzzles you did with him at Churchill.

To Jenepher & family we will always remember your daily visits to Gnomes coffee shop. Our sincere condolences to you in your sad loss.
Fond regards Anne & Ian Soper.

Feeling for your loss Jenepher, you have been extremely dedicated to Mervyn's care over recent years.

I fondly recall some of the exploits of my famous Uncle - the tipsy Bottom that made Ngiao Marsh so cross, the thespian parties on top of St. Elmo Courts ....no space for more here - sorely missed.

Condolences Jene to you and the family. I enjoyed knowing Mervyn, admired his thespian wit, and loved that i share his birthday (with Lin). Arohanui. David
