Passing of Warren Mills

Sadly another Optimist is no longer with us. We have just learned that Warren Mills passed away on Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Warren wore the Blue with Opti-Corps, then both Greens of the Toronto Optimists. He aged out in 1962. When the Alumni Corps was formed, Warren joined, playing mellophone. Unfortunately, after a few years health issues forced him to leave the corps.
