Brethren,
The role of the workman has been called and, one Master Mason, Brother William Hare, has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of life and with them has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. His labors here below have taught his to divest his heart and conscience of the vices and superfluity of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has been granted admission to the Celestial Lodge above. His Brethren mourn the passing of a great man and Mason.
Brother William Hare 32*, was born on November 11, 1927, and passed to the Celestial Lodge on Friday August 9th, 2019 in Redding Hospital, Redding, California. He was preceded in death by his wife Mary Ellen.
Brother Hare was a World War II Army Veteran and will be interred at the Eagle Point Veterans Cemetery in Eagle Point, Oregon. Brother Bill was a member of Asland Lodge #23 in Ashland, Oregon and served as it’s Worshipful Master in 2004.
He was also a member of the Medford Valley Scottish Rite and a Knight of it’s KSA Chapter. Bill was also a member of the Hillah Shriners as well as the local York Rite bodies.
Memorial Services will be held at the Ashland Lodge #23, date to be determined.
