Charles P. Corbett –
Honourary Life Member
This is clearly ONE of those situations which may not repeat itself for some years. Charlie was an outstanding Member of the Irish Benevolent Society over a 30 year period and was on the Board of Directors most of that time. He became President after four years and was then Treasurer for many years. He was a LEADER who contributed his time, energy and money to the Society and convinced others to do the same. He was on numerous Committees over the years, sold more tickets to the annual luncheon than anyone else, brought in more Members than anyone else and inspired his family and friends to do the same. Charlie was the "Wayne Gretzy" of the Irish Benevolent Society and while there are many other good Members, no one was as great as him.
Charles passed away Feb 4, 2022.
