Valé VW Bro Ron Jemesen DGIW 104
His first grandchild, grand daughter Lillian, was born on 2 May. She was taken to Ron at 8.30pm that night, who said, "Isn't she absolutely beautiful".
Ron was called peacefully to the Grand Lodge above at 3am on Monday 3 May 2010. Rest in peace, dear Brother. He was laid to rest in the Services Section of Woden Cemetery on Tuesday 11 May 2010.
Our Regional Grand Counsellor, RW Bro Graham Charlton PSGW, has asked me to fill the void left by the passing of Ron, until the appointment of a new DGIW at the August Grand Proclamation. It is my sad duty and my privilege to accept this invitation. Ron and I have worked close
ly together over the past few years: he was my successor as DGIW in District 104 in 2008; we were closely involved in the Canberra Districts Masonic Association; and we were fellow Companions and officers in Caledonia Royal Arch Chapter 177.
I have large shoes to fill. With the help of the Brethren in District 104, I am sure I will be able to hand over the District in August to his successor, W Bro Peter Camiller, in as sound a state as Ron would have done.
