Dover Lodge extends it’s condolences to the friends, family and Brethren of Right Worshipful Brother Ronald M. Bentley. RWBro. Bentley passed to the Celestial Lodge above on Thursday March 3 2011. He is a Past Master of Augusta Lodge #504, a plural member of Carroll Lodge #124, a York Rite Mason, a Scottish Rite Mason in the Valley of Canton, and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. He also was in his second year as District Deputy Grand Master in the 24th Masonic District of Ohio.

Although his working tools have grown silent, let the echo of his good works to Our Fraternity resound through ages yet to come. Rest well, Right Worshipful.

Solemn strikes the funeral chime,
Notes of our departing time;
As we journey here below.
Through a pilgrimage of woe!

Mortals, now indulge a tear,
For mortality is here!
See how wide her trophies wave
O’er the slumbers of the grave!

Here another guest we bring,
Seraphs of celestial wing,
To our funeral altar come,
Waft this friend and brother home.

Lord of all! Below – above –
Fill our hearts with truth and love;
When dissolves our earthly tie,
Take us to Thy Lodge on high.
