Mervyn RYDER Obituary

(Merv from Makarewa)

16 February 2021

Five years today you left us

Best friend, much-loved and greatly missed husband of Karen, a wonderful and respected stepdad, Grandad, Great-Grandad, son-in-law, brother, uncle, and friend.

I miss you more than anyone knows
As time goes by the emptiness grows
I laugh, I talk, I play my part
But behind my smile is a broken heart

I miss my father dearly, he passed without his children by his side. But in my heart I know he knows the truth now... I will see you on the other side father. I love you.

A true gentleman, and an all round genuinely nice guy, was Mervyn.
