UPDATE

A Memorial Service for Dad Ek will take place on Sunday, May 5th at 4 p.m. at Masonicare, 22 Masonic Avenue, Wallingford, CT 06492

It is with a heavy heart to have to report the passing of Brother Carl G. Ek, on Friday evening April 19, 2013.

Carl was a Past State Master Councilor (1971-72), Chevalier, Legion of Honor, Active Member of the International Supreme Council for DeMolay International, and Deputy Executive Officer for Connecticut DeMolay among many of his achievements.

Carl has long been a very active supporter of DeMolay for many years and has served on multiple Advisory Councils. While extremely active in the Masonic community, Carl took every opportunity to promote DeMolay and Masonic Youth.

Carl lived DeMolay in his heart and touched a lot of our lives with his unique style (that somehow, only Carl was capable of).  He always had a song for any occasion, was rarely observed without his camera, and never had a bad word to say about anyone.  

"Thank you Dad Ek, for all that you have done for DeMolay and Connecticut DeMolay in particular.  You have always provided an ear to listen to our problems, guidance to point us in the right direction and a hand to help us up when we are down.  You will be missed."

May he rest in peace.
