The below message is from our recorder, Robert Addington:

Companions,

I have the sad duty to report the passing of Fred Moore Conrad on May 18, 2026. Companion
Conrad had no been a member of the York Rite in 2023 and had been unable to attend for the
past year, but he was all in on the York Rite. Every time Companion Henry Bear called Fred to
see how he was doing in his recovery from several medical issues, Fred told him how much he
wanted to get back to the meetings. He will definitely be missed in our York Rite.

Fred's Masonic Memorial Service will be Monday May 25th at 5:00 P. M. at Carlise-Branson
Funeral Home, 39 E. High St., Mooresville, IN. Be at the funeral home prior to 4:45 P. M. if
you want to be in the line and your read or purple coats will be appropriate as long as you are
not an officer of Mooresville Lodge #78.

Bob
