George Ruhberg

My Brethren, the roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason, Brother George Ruhberg, 32° has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of the Craft and with them he has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use.

Brother Ruhberg was born on March 1st, 1916 and had the Scottish Rite Degrees Conferred on him in December of 1966.  Brother Ruhberg passed in his sleep at 11:20 am on August 3rd, 2014.

A memorial service will be held on September 13th at the First United Methodist Church in Beaverton.  The service will be held at 3 pm.  Masons will open Lodge at Beaverton Masonic Lodge at 2 pm and then proceed two blocks to the Methodist Church.
