Brethren,
The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason, Brother Ralph S. Gens, 32°, 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 him 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 Gens was born in Berlin Germany on November 25th, 1924 and passed on January 3rd, 2019 in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. His earthly remains are now resting in the eternal sleep at River View Cemetery. More information and a wonderful account of his life is available at;
