Dear Worthy Brothers -

It is with a sadness that I announce the passing of our dear Worthy Brother James Lee Priest, who left us this morning to be with our Lord Jesus Christ.  May God grant him eternal rest.  Jim was a 4th Degree Knight in Assembly 2563, and a 3rd Degree Knight in Council 11746.

Regarding funeral and inurnment details, I have been advised of the following:
Cochran Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. 
The Funeral Mass is scheduled for Tuesday, April 26th, at 10am. Fr. Fabio Alvarez, pastor at St. Paul the Apostle, Cleveland, GA will be the celebrant. 
There will be a funeral luncheon following Mass; the body will be present for the Mass.

Inurnment burial at the St. Clare Memorial Gardens at St. Francis will be the following week, when Fr. Mario returns.  Per Bill Haller, the choir will sing at the inurnment service. Details are to follow - suggest you also keep close tabs on the parish flock notes.

At this time, I do not know if Maria, wants to have a Knight's Memorial Service.  She will be asked about this tomorrow, as she makes arrangements for the mass and inurnment service.  I will let you know when I find out.

Fraternally,
Rick Graff
