Life-long local resident dies - 95 years on the Peninsula

A man who has lived on the Peninsula since 1925 has died at the age of 97.

Mr Thomas Mervyn (Merv) Knight of Gwendolen Ave, Umina, died in hospital on Thursday, October 14, after a short illness.

"Merv was a resident on the Peninsula since 1925 and was one of the early students at Ettalong Primary School," said his daughter Ms Kerrie Eddy.

"After leaving school at the age of 12, he helped his father George Knight in his butcher shop opposite Ferry Rd, Ettalong.

"Merv later became a butcher himself, establishing Knights Butchery at South Woy Woy which he later transformed into South Woy Woy Aquarium and Pet Supplies.

"Merv was a member of the Ettalong Fire Brigade for 37 years, being captain for 17 of those years.

"In his retirement, Merv bred quarrions winning many prizes including grand champion both locally and at the Royal Easter Show.

"He was a beekeeper for almost 70 years and assisted at Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus, teaching the students beekeeping skills.

"He was also a keen fisherman.

"Merv leaves his wife Shirley, daughters Kerrie Susan, Maxine, son Philip and their families."
