Mervyn Steele
July 24, 1947 - May 19, 2016
Tribute
On Thursday May 19, 2016, Mr. Mervyn James Steele of Osoyoos, BC passed away at the Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 68 years.
Merv never wore a watch and seldom used a phone but he always knew what time it was and it was time to go.
The work is done and challenges complete. Now its time for a new paradise and much welcomed sleep.
The stars are not wanted now, put out every one, pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; Merv would have done it if he could.
Beloved husband of Donna (nee Eldridge; loving father of John and his wife Miae of Seoul, South Korea.
