We were all been saddened by the sudden and tragic passing to the Grand Lodge Above of Bro James S Adams, our much loved Past Master, on 26th April 2013 at the age of just 58. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Rona and their children, Jennifer and Craig, at this very sad time and in the weeks, months and years ahead. Above all else, Jim’s priority was his family and theirs is the greatest loss
‘Big Jim’ was a real stalwart of No XII all through the years since his Initiation on 7th March 1977. He took the Chair in No XII in November 1995 after serving with distinction in many offices. His time as Chief Steward will always be remembered and not just for his work in that office. The truth of the matter is that Jim never stopped being Chief Steward and, at our last regular meeting on 16th April, Jim was (as usual) making the tea and seeing that the visitors and brethren of No XII were well looked after.
