The Warsaw Elks Lodge 802 held its annual Elks memorial service Dec. 1, for member Ernest Thompson, who passed away this year. The processional was provided by past exalted rulers of the lodge. The “Absent, But Not Forgotten” ceremony was attended by officers, members, family and friends.

A memorial address was given by Jeff Pfeifer, Warsaw Community Church care minister, and Brad Keller of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department was the soloist. Bill Huffer, past exalted ruler, will retire this year after serving as chairman of the memorial event for the past 26 years. Refreshments followed the ceremony.
