MWBs, RWBs, WBs and brethren all,

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of WB William Dunn "Bill" Means, Jr., PM to the celestial lodge above on May 27th, 2026. He was a Major - US Army (Ret.). 

We know many of you loved him dearly, and we want to ensure everyone who wishes to pay their respects has the opportunity to do so.

His daughter, Ms. Holly Means, has requested a Masonic Funeral service in conjunction with the military honors awarded to him as a Vietnam War Veteran.

If you can attend and/or willing to participate in the Masonic service, please register and select your availability ASAP to help arrange a Funeral cast for Masonic Service.

The interment service for WB Means is scheduled at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on Tuesday, November 17, 2026.

Arrival is between 8:00 and 8:15 a.m. Please note that the Funeral service at ANC is brief; it starts at the burial site at 9 a.m. and lasts for 30 minutes.

Persons aged 18 and older must present a valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or passport) at the security checkpoint. Non-U.S. citizens must present a valid passport.
