Brethren,

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.

Brother Aaron was a Past Grand Master of Masons in Oregon, an Honorary 33rd Degree member of the Portland Valley Scottish Rite, & Past Master of East Gate-Parkrose Lodge No. 155.
