Remembering Those Who Served Before Us

As we enter the month of November, we pause to remember and honor the Past Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge of Arizona who laid down their working tools during this month over the years.

Each of these Brothers answered the call to leadership and gave of their time, talents, and passion in service to the Craft. Their leadership helped shape Arizona Freemasonry, and the work they began continues through each of us today.

I ask every Lodge to take a moment during your November meetings to remember these Past Grand Masters, speak their names, and honor their service.

May we never forget those who came before us or the responsibility we have to carry their work forward.

Remember their service. Honor their legacy. Continue their work. George Roskruge & S. Barry Casey Masonic Library & Museum Aztlan Lodge #1 Paradise Valley Silver Trowel Lodge No.29, F & A.M.
