Nicholas Vourlas
There will not be an Elks memorial service for the late Nicholas Vourlas, of 710 Marilyn Drive.

Mr. Vourlas died Friday and a memorial service was originally planned by the Elks.  However Mr. Vourlas was not a member at the time of his death so there will not be a service.*

*Nick has been suffering from the early stages of senile dementia or Alzheimer's for a couple of years prior to his death.  Apparently his dues had not been paid for some period.  I vividly recall Nick speaking of the meetings and social functions he attended at the Elks.  He was always a proud member.
