    It is with very much regret that I note the passing to the Grand Lodge Above on 16th June, 2024, of W. Bro, Lt. Col. Bruce Dyson, PGStB, a member of Mercury Lodge, No. 777. Bruce was a dedicated mason and I knew him in a number of Orders, all of which he held high rank and was a very active member up to about three years ago. Due to the failing health of his wife, Bruce was unable to attend as much as he would have wished, he was her carer. He was a gentleman and a friendly, helpful person to all. He lived respected and died regretted. May he rest in peace.
