From: Colby Savadove Dec 14th 2020
Last night my dad passed away from complications of COVID . A perfectly healthy man in October contracted COVID and died 2 months later. He was an amazing human, father, husband, grandfather, father in law, friend , mentor and this list could go on forever. I will miss him so much but my mother ,sister and I were blessed to be able to sit with him Sunday to watch football, share memories and be in peace together. In his last hours he was worried more about us then himself and told me he wished he would have done more for others in the earlier part of his life. He loved James and Charlie so much and made me promise over and over that they would get a good education while adding that he would like Charlie to be an engineer and of course work for Whiting Turner while he knew James would follow his baseball dreams and shoot for the stars. Thank you for reaching out to Neely and I and sending cards, supporting my mom and most of all for sharing your unbelievable stories about how my dad touched your lives! Colby

The Baltimore Sun
Brother Bob Knight, member of Washington Lodge, started an avalance of donations to assist Erika Brannock, a victim of the Boston Marathon bombing, return to a normal life.
Erika Brannock is still adjusting to life with new physical challenges after the Boston Marathon bombing, but she now has a fully accessible bathroom, thanks to renovations by the Freemasons of Maryland. "When you have a life-altering change like this, you really need something that makes you feel more normal, and you guys have made me feel more normal. Thank you," Brannock told Grand Master Jerry Piepiora and Bob Knight, the Timonium contractor who coordinated donations.
"I really want to thank everyone at the Grand Lodge here for giving me some of my independence back and going out of your way to do something for me. It has touched my heart."
