I am very sad to report the sudden passing of Merv Jones of Calgary, Alberta. He died yesterday morning.
Merv was a fixture at so many Canadian gun and cartridge show that I can’t begin to imagine how many people he knew.
Merv was the biggest cartridge dealer in Canada and had been a collector and dealer for longer than I’ve known him.
RIP
Paul - I didn’t know this man at all, but I mourn his passing. Your words about him are clear indication that his passing is a loss for our hobby. I’m sorry for this. It is hard to lose friends.

Yet another sad day for us all.

RIP Tom in MN
Oh that is very sad, I’ve known him since the mid-1980’s as a very knowledgeable person & a really very nice guy on top of that. For some reason I was just thinking about him yesterday & wondering how he was.
Haven’t seen him for a number of years but he will sure be missed.
Good collecting Merv, & all the very best
Merv’s passing is indeed a sad day , not only for the ammunition world but for everyone who knew him. He was a wealth of knowledge and a genuinely nice person. He will be greatly missed.
Hi all,
Merv’s memorial will be on Saturday, Oct 26 at the Marlborough Park Community Assoc. at 6021 Madigan Dr NE, Calgary from 1-5pm.
Thank you for the nice comments about Merv. I know that they are being passed along to the family.

I always enjoyed seeing Merv (and usually Paul hovering around his table) and travelled to a few shows in western Canada just on his suggestion. His loss to the Western Canadian cartridge collecting fraternity will be huge.
