Announcing the Passing of Al Sarvi, the President of the Northern Philatelic Society and Library
It is with a very sad heart that we announce the passing of Al Sarvi, who has been the President of the Northern Philatelic Society and Library since Saturday 22nd July, 2017. Al’s death followed a bout of Covid which had him in intensive care for several day. A funeral/memorial is being planned by his family for the spring. When the arrangements are known they will be posted here and communicated by the Toozeday Nooze. We will all miss Al very much. He touched us all in so many ways.
