Bro David Patterson Gray, R.O.H.

28th May 1942 - 18th December 2010

Brother Dave Gray will be sorely missed by the Brethren of The Windsor & Uxbridge Province, his services were always on offer in all Minor and Provincial Grand Lodge activities as well as Knights Chapter; indeed Dave and Linda, his partner of more than 30 years, attended every Buff function that The Windsor & Uxbridge Province arranged.

Like all Brethren now in the 'Grand Lodge Above' Brother Dave will be sadly missed by all who knew him. 

 

Bro Malcolm John Johnson, R.O.H.

16th May 1937 - 20th November 2010

Brother Malcom joined the order on 6th October 1974 in the John Hallewell Lodge, No 7912.

He was raised to the Second Degree on 7th Decemberm 1975, rising to the Third Degree on the 6th April 1979 and the Fourth Degree on 28th July 1984

In 1991 he was elected to the high office of Provincial Grand Primo.

A measure of his popularity, and the esteem he was held in, was the presence of more than 20 Brethren who attended at his funeral, some of them travelling from as far as Brighton and South Wales in the atrocious wintery conditions that prevailed at the time.

Brother George Cordery, R.O.H., P.P.G.P.

The last of the true greats of The Windsor, Slough & Uxbridge Province.

Probably the longest and oldest established of our stalwarts having spent more than fifty compliant
years in the Brent Valley Lodge, No. 5610.

Bro. George passed away at 03.00 hrs On Saturday 29th of May after a very long illness which resulted in his having to be apart from Beryl his Buffess of so many years.

Absent_Bretheren.jpg   Spirit of Thruth, before we homeward wend, On thee we call:
Assist each to succour and defend Good Brethren all.
From cares and sorrows, Absent Brethren free, Where’er they roam, in air, on land or sea.
Let thy kind spirit hover round them now, And so enthral:
That they will keep their obligation vow, So say we all.
And when, on us, the ivy leaves descend Grant we may join,
Thy link, our Brothers Friend.
Absent Brethren a safe and speedy return.
