Brethren all,\nWe are deeply saddened to learn that Worshipful Brother Gary Key 32° KCCH has traveled to the Celestial Lodge above. His dear wife Amber and loving family were joined by VWB Grand Chaplain at his bedside yesterday afternoon.\n\nWB Gary was Past Master of Kennewick Lodge #153, a Scottish Rite Mason, Knight Commander of the Court of Honor in the Valley of Kennewick, and member of El Katif Shrine.\n\nGary big-heartedly served on the board of directors of the Scottish Rite Scholarship Foundation since 2015. Just a few days ago, I passed a message to Gary that he is beloved and admired by his peers on the board. So much so, they declared the highest honor that the Foundation may bestow upon a board member, Director Emeritus. Amber said "the scholarship program means a lot to that man and he is pleased to know his friends have honored him in that way."\n\nAs we mourn our Brothers passing, we will miss him more than words can describe. Let us honor and remember him as we labor on behalf of the craft and the scholarship foundation.
