Alas, My Brother🌿
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Worshipful Brother Harry Sheppell, who has laid down his working tools and entered the Eternal Lodge above.
W∴ Harry was a cherished member and Secretary of Ionic Lodge #101 and an Honorary Member of Albert J. Russell Lodge #126.
His dedication, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the Craft touched countless brothers over the years. He exemplified what it means to be a Mason, steadfast, humble, and always ready to extend a helping hand.
We ask that you keep his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Alas My Brother. Your earthly labor is complete. May you find rest and peace in the care of the Grand Architect of the Universe.

From our Secretary:
It is with deep regret that I report a member of Solomon Lodge has put down his working tools and joined that Temple not built by Earthly hands. Morocco Shriners today sent this message:

Funeral services will be held at the Franklin Street Baptist Church 2521 Franklin St Jacksonville FL 32206 Monday January 20th 11:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations be made to the Morocco Shriners Patient Transportation Fund 560 Wells Road Orange Park FL. 32073
