Brethren,
It is with my deepest sympathy that I am writing to let you know about a fallen brother. Brother W.L. Wotipka died in a major car wreck earlier today. Brother Wotipka was a beloved brother to many brothers across the state. He was the Secretary for Brookshire Lodge #1066 and a Past Master of Cypress Lodge #1423. After speaking with his family, his wishes were to be cremated. There will be a memorial service put together for this beloved brother in a couple of weeks that I will send out as soon as I have specific information. Please forward this email to all Masons in your address book as Brother Wotipka knew many brothers that I am sure I do not have addresses for. Please keep his family in your prayers in this difficult time. I will deeply miss this brother as he was an exemplary Mason and friend.
Fraternally,
Chris Ryland
