Worshipful Brother Alan Richard Barnard
Dear Brethren,
It is with sadness that I inform you of the sad passing to the Grand Lodge above of Worshipful Brother and Comp. Alan Richard Barnard PPrAGDC on 4th of December 2024 (78).
Worshipful Brother Alan was Initiated on the 12th of April 1973 in the Warden lodge L4608, he was Master in 1984 – 1985. He subsequently resigned in 1993.
In 1987 Worshipful Brother Alan joined the Military Lodge L2621 (London) he later resigned in September 2024. The Military Lodge was formed in 1896 by a group of serving Officers and NCOs from various Regiments, at a time when the RAF did not exist, and the Army and Navy were large and deployed all over the world.
Records show that Worshipful Brother Alan was Exalted in Royal Arch Chapter in 1981, unfortunately we have no record of the Chapter.
Bedfordshire Provincial Rank came in 1991 when he was appointed Past Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies.
Brother Alan was Advanced into the Ampthill Mark Lodge M 1396 on 20th of October 1977, he received Mark Master Mason honours of PPrGMO in 2020.
This sad passing was only received recently, and unfortunately, we have no further details at this time.
Our belated thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very sad time.
Requiescat in pace
Yours sincerely and fraternally
Mike Fitz-Gerald – Provincial Grand Almoner
