Rt. W.Bro Frank Kendrick P.D.Dep.G.M.(British Columbia) 1924-2008

Right Worshipful Bro Frank Leslie Kendrick P.D.Dep.G.M.(B.C.) Internet Lodge mourns the passing to the Grand Lodge above of our member, our friend and our brother Frank Kendrick who passed away peacefully on 17th July 2008. Frank, who was proudly British, but lived in British Columbia joined the lodge on 21st March 1998 at only the second meeting of the lodge. He visited the lodge only once, attending at our meeting in York in August 2000 but he was a very regular contributor to our debates, never fearing to let us know his point of view. If ever he disagreed with something we were countenancing he wouldn't hesitate to let me know, always in a spirit of brotherly love and friendliness. He genuinely always had the best interests of freemasonry in his heart. I will miss Frank and his regular emails to me a lot and I'm sure our heart goes out to Maureen on her sad loss. John Dutchman-Smith 18th July 2008
