Dearest Brethren, Friends and Family, with a broken heart it becomes my duty to inform you of the tragic passing of our dearly beloved Brother Chaplain Darby Yale.

He tragically left this painful earthly plane last night. Words cannot express this loss. His love for his Brethren and Gate City Lodge is no secret and he always expressed it. He was the proudest Gate City man among us.  As we all struggle through this time, please keep his family in your prayers and well as your Brethren. We will keep you posted with details regarding services with the family.  

We will open a Lodge of Sorrow at our communication tonight February 28th, 2023 at 7:30PM.

Please attend.

With the heaviest of hearts,

WM Frank Bailey, III
