Resolutions of the Life and Character
Wayne Edward Colwell
It
is with great
sadness that the Lodge contemplates the death of Brother Wayne Colwell.
He was born on
Brother Colwell was an upright honorable citizen, a faithful, loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was a true southern gentleman.
Brother Colwell will always be remembered by his smile, extended hand to friends and strangers and his enthusiasm and eagerness to help any way he could. Brother Wayne never let an obstacle of any kind hinder him from accomplishing his goals. He was proud of his children and grandchildren and always mentioned them in a conversation. He was an example of the character of a Mason.
Brother Colwell’s earthly work is done. He fought a good fight and he kept the faith. Henceforth there I laid up for him an eternal life in the great beyond where no sickness, no sorrows and no tears ever fall.
Therefore be it resolved
1st That the Lodge has sustained a great loss of our Brother
2nd That while we deplore his death yet in humble submission we bow to the will of “God in His great providence”
3rd That this Lodge extends its sympathy to the family of our deceased Brother
4th That this preamble be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge and that a copy be furnished to the local paper and a copy be furnished to the family of our deceased Brother.
