On Tuesday 29^th August 2011 at about 3.00pm Brother Clive Anthony Wright passed to the Grand Lodge above after a long battle with cancer.

Clive was born in Bath in the UK on 24^th June 1942.

Brother Clive was initiated into freemasonry in Lodge Devotion on the 27^th January 1978, passed to the second degree on 25^th May 1978 in Abbotsford Lodge No. 92 and was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on 22^nd September 1998.  He joined a second lodge, Wattle Valley Lodge no. 494, in November 1999 and remained a member there until the lodge folded on 4^th October 2000.

His 33 years membership of Lodge Devotion meant that Clive was the second longest serving member of our lodge.  He will be sadly missed by all those who knew him.

Our heart-felt sympathies go to his wife Coralie, their two children Denise and Alistair, and the four grandchildren.

According to family wishes, Clive’s life will be commemorated at a private funeral.
