In Memory
Mervyn Gans
This was sent to me (and maybe others) yesterday by Mervyn's wife Allison:
Good Afternoon
Sadly I must advise my husband Mervyn Gans passed away on 16 December 2021 after a long battle against pancreatic cancer. He leaves a huge gap in many lives especially me as his wife, son Warren , daughter Louise and granddaughter Abigail.
Regards
Allison Gans
Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they grieve.

I was very sad to learn of the passing of my friend Mervyn Gans, with whom I had the privilege of sharing many classes during our high school careers. Gilly had a wonderfully cheerful disposition and a keen scientific curiosity. I recall how he would perform his own chemistry and physics experiments as a pastime, sometimes using himself as his own guinea pig! Although I lost touch with Gilly after my move to the US, I have no doubt that he led a successful life and will be much missed by his family and friends, to whom I send my heartfelt condolences.

Mervyn Gans - affectionately known to me as Gilly Gans - was one of my closest friends from our early days at prep school all the way to his untimely death.

I was terribly upset ot learn of Mervyn's passing - Yes Jeff, "Gilly" Gans as he was known to all of us at Prep and DHS. I was in contact with Mervyn again in recent years when he introduced me to Francesco Ciaghi, who had cycled solo from Cape Town to Italy via Israel. Frncesco was particularly fond of Mervyn and admired him as a cycliing enthusiast with grit and tenancity in the face of his illness. I remember Mervyn as quiet, almost retiring in his manner, very gentle, pensive. Although we had not seen each other (except via Facebook) for more than 40 years, I remembered him and his sister Sharon, fondly from school days.
Sending love and healing thoughts to the family.
