A Tribute to Our Departed Brethren

In memorium of our brethren and in the quiet reflection of our hearts and the solemn spaces of our thoughts, we pause to honor the memory of our brethren who have laid down the working tools of life and passed into the celestial lodge above.

The bonds of brotherhood that unite us in life do not unravel in death. Here, we pay tribute to those whose absence is felt as a missing column in the edifice of our fraternal union. Their contributions to our lodge, their love for their families, and their service to the community leave behind a legacy that time cannot erode.

Thistle Lodge No.62 remembers each brother with profound respect and affection, acknowledging the indelible marks they have left on our lives and the foundations of our lodge. In their memory, we find inspiration to live with greater kindness, to work with purer motives, and to extend the hand of fellowship with unwavering commitment.

Below, we list the names of our departed brethren, a solemn roll call of those who have journeyed beyond our sight but remain forever in our hearts. We invite you to join us in remembering their lives, cherishing their memory, and honouring their legacy.

Our Masonic Brothers whom have ascended to the “House not Built with Hands”- The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of the Craft, and with them, he has left the mortal part, for which, he no longer has use.
