Brethren –
It is my sad duty to report on the death of Br. G. Wayne Hawk, who put down the working tools on August 27, 2017, at age 89.
We just learned of his passing yesterday, so there will not be a request for a Masonic funeral. His obituary notice is reprinted below.

“Most glorious God! author of all good and giver of all mercy! pour down Thy blessings upon us, and strengthen our solemn engagements with the ties of sincere affection! May the present instance of mortality remind us of our approaching fate, and draw our attention toward Thee, the only refuge in time of need! that, when the awful moment shall arrive, that we are about to quit this transitory scene, the enlivening prospect of Thy mercy may dispel the gloom of death; and after our departure hence in peace, and in Thy favor, may we be received into Thine everlasting kingdom, to enjoy, in union with the souls of our departed friends, the just reward of a pious and virtuous life. Amen.”
