Nassau District Annual Memorial Service 2021

<p> We gathered (socially distant) in Rockville Centre Lodge Hall on May 5th to honor our deceased Odd Fellows; brothers Pedro Rodriquez (11/27/19), George Henderson (5/22/20), and Herbert Franke (5/25/20). We heard stirring tributes from Herb's son Harold and George's wife Eve. Many brothers had great stories about all of them.</p><p><i>Their work among us is done, yet their influence will live to direct our actions for the Good of the Order.

Rest In Peace Brother Herbert Franke

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We all say goodbye to Brother Herbert Franke  May 1936 – May 2020</div><br />
He joined the Mineola Lodge in October 1957.<br />
<br />
His work among us is done, yet his influence will live to direct our actions for the good of our Order. We will miss him from our midst, but we will ever remember our association with him, and we will keep ever in mind the obligations that we owe to those who were near and dear to him.<br />

Farewell, Brother, until we meet thee in the Eternal Home.<br />

Rest In Peace Brother George W. Henderson

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We all say goodbye to Brother George W. Henderson.  1/29/1953 - 5/20/2020</div>
<br />
His work among us is done, yet his influence will live to direct our actions for the good of our Order. We will miss him from our midst, but we will ever remember our association with him, and we will keep ever in mind the obligations that we owe to those who were near and dear to him.<br />
<br />
Farewell, Brother, until we meet thee in the Eternal Home.<br />
