W.Bro. Robert (Bob) Metcalf passed away to the Grand Lodge above early Friday morning in the palliative care ward of the Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital. Cathy and the family have asked, at Bob’s request, that Brant Lodge conduct a Masonic Funeral, which we will be honoured to do for our departed Brother.
The Masonic Service will be at 1:00PM on Saturday April 2, 2011 at Smith’s Funeral Home, located at 1167 Guelph Line. Brant Lodge Brethren are encouraged to attend, to celebrate Bob’s life and see him off to the next. Please be there by 12:30PM so that parts can be assigned and the procession is orderly and coordinated.
More details to follow, and the Brethren can contact the Senior Warden with any questions.
