Dear Editor:
Not the news that would bounce off a news desk, but please, may I take a minute, and North Shore News hospitality, to remember Bob Handel?
Passing away Jan. 31 (with a celebration of life March 20 at Boal Chapel) — he served North Vancouver Kiwanis for over 40 years. Like many volunteers, he gave willingly.
He had untold merits, gave great effort, was wise, smart, amusing and a star player for Kiwanis, planning and predicting the need for seniors’ housing. Never a muddled mind, and held the strongest of human values. In his rich orotund voice he never tired of talking Kiwanis, and he was tremendous fun, too.
So let’s pop the cork and celebrate; this is just a glimmer of a man who should never be hidden away.
