Services Friday for Brother Bill Wine

Brother Mark Sandstrom has posted the following information about services for WBro. William N. Wine, who passed to the celestial lodge on March 25th in his home in Concord, California. Bill was well known to many brethren from the CompuServe Masonry Forum, the first popular online community for Freemasons in the 1990s.

Services have been scheduled for our Brother William “Bill” Wine, PM. at the Oakland Scottish Rite, 1547 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, CA 94612, (510) 832-0819

Services will be held on Friday, April 29, 2011.
Viewing: 9:00am
Celebration of Life: 10:00am

A reception will follow. Bill would want us to gather to laugh, eat, drink and tell stories. Please know he will most definitely be present as we lift a glass in his honor and memory.

On behalf of Bill’s family, thank you for your outpouring of care, concern and love.

Fraternally,
Mark R. Sandstrom, PM
West Covina Lodge #446
West Covina, CA

If you are unable to attend, but would like your memories of Bill recorded, please format them as a Word document, and send them to me at hodapp@aol.com . I will see that they are forwarded to Mark, who is assembling them for Bill's family.
