Brethren,
Our Brother Dick Collins suffered heart failure around noon Monday, March 19th and was carried away by the Angel of
Death to The Celestial Lodge above. Dick was a very generous & upright Mason, member of Iron Springs Lodge #342, Scottish
Rite, Shrine Motor Patrol, Royal Court of the Jesters & The Ruffians Chapter, Widows Son's Masonic Riding Association,
Little Rock, Ar. There may be other appendant organizations he was a member of that I failed to mention & for that I apologize.
Family visitation will be Wednesday night, March 21st @ Little Rock Funeral Home on Bowman Rd. Check for hours.
Funeral Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, March 22nd at East Union Missionary Baptist Church, 20422 North
Springlake Drive, East End, Ar. phone 501-888-2633. Chuck Benson, Secretary Congo Lodge #743 has been asked to lead the Masonic
funeral services.
I plan to be at the church by 9:30 a.m. to attend services & will assist as needed. The Shrine Motor Patrol will
provide escort from the church to Arkansas Veterans Cemetary, North Little Rock just off of Maryland Ave for the internment.
I will attempt to secure a spot in the funeral procession especially for Widows Son's members if enough show up.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers any memorial tribute be sent to;

Little Rock, Ar. 72209
