Venerable Frater Frank, died on Monday 14th of April 2008 after a protracted illness. The nature of the illness was debilitating and a source of great frustration for Frank who battled against it valiantly until it overcame him. Frater Frank was a member of Hurlford Preceptory for thirty two years and intoduced a great many new members to our order. He only took the chair however in 1996 but served a full two years in that capacity. His wife, Margaret backed him fully in all his endeavours and her baking was always a treat at the refectory board following our musters. He will be missed within his mother preceptory and more widely in all the orders he was a member of. Venerable Frater Frank's passing was commemorated at a Memorial Service held within the Preceptory on the 24th of April. He marked well!
