Brethren,

It is with heavy heart that I advise you of the passing of V.W. Bro. William "Bill" Wheeler to the Grand Lodge above.  He passed away last evening at the Simcoe Hospice in Barrie.

V.W. Bro. Wheeler joined Coronation Lodge in 2003 and was Master in 2013.  He was a skilled ritualist, a mentor to numerous candidates and the Lodge's Treasurer from 2015 until last year. He also was the District Benevolence Chairman from 2015 until his passing.  

Bill was active in Scottish Rite Masonry in Barrie and Past President of the Midland Shrine Club.

His smile and humour will be missed.

There will be a Masonic Memorial Service held for V.W. Bro William "Bill" Wheeler on Thursday February 12th, 2026 at 2:45pm at the Lynn-Stone Funeral Home, 15 Yonge Street South in Elmvale. Masons are asked to assemble in the funeral home's ante room by 2:30pm.  Dress is business suit and regalia.
