Recent Passing of Mr. Bernard Price

Sadly, Bernard recently passed away following ill health. Bernard enjoyed all the interaction & laughs with all the Melville Club members. Since Covid he has not been in good health & struggled with his mobility. We all have happy & fond memories of Bernard & we will miss his cheeky smile. We extend our sincere condolences to Susan, Harold & Jane who faithfully & tirelessly nursed him to the end.
