Friends and brothers, last week Brother Ken McDilda passed away after a long and tough fight with cancer. Ken, Past Master of Hiram 40, always had a positive attitude about his situation. “I never saw Ken get upset about his condition, he always pushed on. Ken was special to me because he was Worshipful Master of the lodge when I took the first step into Freemasonry,” says Josh Lippy - member of Hiram 40 Masonic Lodge. He surely will be missed by all. His funeral arrangements are scheduled for Saturday, February 27th and are listed below, please also find a list of charities you may donate to in memory of Ken.

For brother Master Masons that will be attending Ken McDilda’s funeral, full Masonic burial service will be performed. Hiram 40 Masonic Lodge will have an emergent communication at 12:00 PM on Saturday, February 27th.

“Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.”
