| It is with deep sadness that we regret to announce
the sudden passing of Melvin Jones Fellow Lion Gabor
Szilagyi who has contributed so much of himself to our
Club over the last 28 years. Sponsored by Jim Stephens,
Gabe joined our club in May, 1980 and immediately
immersed himself in Lionism becoming our Treasurer by
the mid to late 1980’s, a position he held for 6
years. Gabe also served as our Club’s President
in 1990 and 1991.
Throughout the 1990’s Gabe was involved in and chaired our annual Fireworks/Carnival display. Not to rest upon his laurels, he became our head Pizza maker during New Milford’s annual Fair Days event for the last 7 to 8 years. In 2003, Gabe received his well deserved Melvin Jones award. His most recent contribution was to show up unannounced and unsolicited last Spring to help kick off our new Beer Tasting event where he served food throughout the event. Will his spirit and altruism be missed in our Club and our community?? YOU BETCHA!. |
