We are very sad to report the passing to the Grand Lodge Above of WBro Bill Zarins, who fought a brave battle against cancer over the last three years.
WBro Bill was installed as Worshipful Master of Trinity Lodge No. 9165 in 2008 at Kettering. He received his first promotion to Provincial Grand Steward in 2011 and was subsequently promoted to the rank of Past Provincial Superintendent of Works in 2016.

WBro Bill played an active role in the Lodge as ADC during 2016. He had a fine singing voice and was often asked to perform at the Festive Board, which he did wonderfully.
A member of the Pemberton Chapter No. 3039 in Rushden, he worked through all the offices, becoming MEZ in 2015.
WBro Bill was a well-respected and much-liked Brother. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with his wife Angie, son Guy and daughter Amy.
The funeral will take place on Tuesday 31st January 2017 at 1.30pm at St Andrews Church, Rockingham Road, Kettering, NN16 8RG.
Following the service there will be a private cremation for family members only. Afterwards, there will be a reception for all at the Masonic Centre, York Road, Kettering NN16 0DB.
No flowers by request. It is requested that any donations in memory of Bill go to Cancer Research UK.
