Our Grand Chapter sadly
reports the sudden passing of Past Grand Patron, Brother Cyril R. MacIntosh,

Brother Cyril was
initiated into Myrtle Chapter, No. 21, Truro, N. S., on November 16, 1971
and served as Worthy Patron six times. He affiliated with Cobequid Chapter,
No. 39, Maitland, N. S. On September 26, 1994 and served as Worthy Patron

Brother Cyril, along with
the late Sister Ellen Webster, Worthy Grand Matron, presided over the “Golden
Chain of Friendship” Session. Their Grand Chapter Session was held in
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in July,1980.
The
Chain of Fraternal Friendship
Is
made of links of gold,
Which we fondly hold and cherish,
Our
friends, both new and old
Then, one by one, they sever,
Just
why, we cannot tell;
But
we trust Our Heavenly Father,
Who
doeth all things well.
We extend sincere
sympathy to his wife of 67 years, Sister June, his son, two daughters, eight
grandchildren and eight great grandchildren and to the members of Myrtle
Chapter.
We ask that this memorial
be read and the Altar draped in each chapter as a tribute of our love to his
memory.

It is with sadness we announce that another link in the chain of Past Grands

I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it though, with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
Sincere sympathy is extended to his family: Marg, his son, Bill Jr., P.G.P.,
two grandchildren, one great grandson, brothers Allister and John and to the
members of his chapters, Westville No. 24 and Century No. 10.
As a loving tribute to his memory, we ask that this memorial be read in each
chapter and the Altar draped.

A
kindly man, a caring man,
One who walked with us for awhile,
And shared with us the road of life
With an always gentle smile.
Twilight falls and toil doth cease
While o’er his soul, God spreads His mantle:
PEACE
