Brethren,
The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason, Brother Don Virgil Puckett, 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 Don Virgil Puckett was born on June 15th, 1930 and passed to the Celestial Lodge on December 17th, 2018. Brother Don was a member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for 48 years having obtain the title of Master of the Royal Secret on November 21, 1970.
