We have lost one of our most dedicated and fraternal members recently, Tony Jandrowski, the mayor of Friday nights, Mister Lighting raffle and all around great guy. He always had a smile for everyone who came in and loved the Moose almost as much as he loved his lovely wife Sharon and his family. He was our ambassador for all new members and a friend to all. You will never meet a more fraternal member of the Moose. Tony was full of ideas and if you had the time, he was more than happy to tell you all about them. I will miss his great wit, the twinkle in his eye, his scolding if I messed up and his praise when I finally got it right. He was a
mentor of mine and a great friend. I know you’ll always be watching over all of us. Rest in Peace Tony, our lodge is a lesser place without your smile and great fraternal presence.
Fraternally Yours,
Rich Smart, Administrator
