Worshipful Brother Neil Charles Curran
Dear Brethren,
It is with sadness that I inform you of the passing to the Grand Lodge above of Worshipful Brother and Companion Neil Charles Curran PPrGReg on 20th of November 2024 aged 89.
Neil was initiated on the 8th of January 1976 in Sir William Harpur Lodge L2343, became Master 1987, Secretary 1991 – 1998 and Almoner 1998 and elected as an Honorary member in 2019.
Neil was exalted into Sir William Harpur Chapter C2343 on the 16th of January 1979, installed as MEZ 1993 and Scribe E from 1997 – 2005.
Neil was first appointed to Provincial Grand Lodge in 1993 promoted in 1996 and finally again in 2016.
Sadly, Neil had been house bound but remained a subscribing member for many years. We believe he passed peacefully in hospital. Mrs Curran is not in the best of health having recently had a fall; the lodge Almoner is in contact with the family.
Neil supported Bedfordshire Freemasonry for 48 years in the craft and 45 years in Royal Arch Chapter.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very sad time. I shall send a condolence card on behalf of the Brethren of Bedfordshire.
Requiescat in pace
Yours sincerely and fraternally
Mike Fitz-Gerald – Provincial Grand Almoner
