R.I.P. Bernie Doyle

Clochemerle Club is saddened to record the passing of their co-founder Bernie Doyle. For many years he held office not only on Clochemerle’s Committee but that of PWA, where long-time President Val Gridley recalls he gave invaluable support, combining a wealth of procedural knowledge with diligence, and a great sense of humour. Not keen on formal competitions, Bernie was an enthusiastic and competent social player and bon vivant until ill health curtailed activity in recent years. Clochemerle’s first Life Member, Bernie was also well-known in jazz and theatre circles as a highly talented performer and writer. Vale Bernie, you will be missed.
