Mervin rests now in the arms of divine Love and you can trust he is well now.

Dear Mervin, as I write this condolence the tears fall. You were a wonderful husband to an amazing woman (Eve) as you called her. You were a dedicated father to your boys and their partners. It's not hard to see the respect and love they have for you. You were an amazing Grampie to your grandchildren and great grandchildren. And well me, you were so great to me. I will never forget the way you treated me right from the start. Just knowing you made me a better person.
You always made time to talk, share advice and so much knowledge. You did this not only with me but everyone.
You may have left us in body, but never in spirit. You touched so many lives.
New Germany will never be the same. Thank you for the opportunity to know and love you.
All my love ,
Sandra and Bob

My sincere condolences to you David, you and your family for your loss. I didn't know Mervin personally, but by reading the obituary and I can attest that his values, traits and hard working ethic was passed down fully for you. No matter what the job was, how big it was I can remember that you always talked about home and getting back to home; you were New Germany proud. May God comfort you and your family in this time of need.
God Bless

Dear Eva and family,
Although I only got to meet you and Mervin, as well as one of your sons, a handful of times I was struck by the closeness of your family as well as the kindness to others in your community. Gord shared stories about Mervin and how highly he regarded him, and I believe that was well-founded.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family on the loss of Mervin. May time and all of the good memories you have of your life together bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Giffin

Mervin and I grew up as next door neighbors. I have great memories of us building backyard camps.
Later on I remember Mervin installing a Hemi into an Oldsmobile F85 and modifying a steering box to make it all fit.
Mervin was a natural mechanical genius as proven by his custom made, remote controlled airplane turntable in his hanger.
But most of all, Mervin was a great friend who will be profoundly missed.
All the best to Eva and family.

His determination and courage as he battled cancer is a story that is known far and wide. Now he has flown away, leaving you with good memories to last a lifetime.

As a teenager I had the pleasure and privilege of spending a lot of time at the Zinck house. Wally, Darren and I played on the same hockey team and my younger brother Scott played hockey with David. Mervin and Eva opened their doors and hearts to any kid who was a friend of their kids. One of my best memories is of the Zinck boys getting into some sort of a racket (it didn’t take much and it didn’t take long) and Mervin watching it all unfold with a sly grin. When it got a little overheated (it always did) he’d simply say a little loudly, “You fellas!!’ and things would calm down for awhile. When I think of it now it kind of reminds me of a Papa bear watching the cubs play. And by the way, no one ever messed with Mama bear. I, like all, am saddened by the news but I can’t help but smile at the memories and lessons learned from a life well lived by a passionate man who welcomed the neighbourhood kids like myself, deeply loved his family, and took care of his community too.
