He worked for many years in the oil field industry, until his retirement in 2020. The next two years he traveled the country in his travel trailer revisiting all the places that were special to him in his lifetime.

Merwyn had an incredible passion for working on cars, most evenings he could be found out in his shop tinkering on his truck.
