Clerk in 1984, a position he held with great diligence for almost eleven years.
His wife, Mildred, also an elder, predeceased him in August 2009.
The Kirk Session, Congregational Committee and Congregation extend heartfelt sympathy to
his sons, Colin and Mervyn, daughter-in-law, Vanessa and sister Dorothy at this difficult time.
