Rockville Centre Lodge #279 hosted a District Memorial Service on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. An honor guard of the local canton Clifford GW Sheppard was present, along with the families of the departed. We say farewell to Brothers: Carl Weeks, Edward Weinstein, Leon Silverman, Marvin Gordon, Jerry Rattner, Allen Foster, Michael Witt, Ed Pyne, Jesse Fisher, John Winkelman, Joe Martino, and Henry Polka. Rest in Peace, Brothers.
“Their life spans have ended. The light of their eyes has gone out; and their lips are forever silent. Their toils and labors are done. The burning taper of their lives have been extinguished and they have crossed the silent river of death.”
