Memory Eternal: Brother Frank Philipps

The council is saddened to report that our Brother Frank Philipps fell asleep in the Lord on January 12. Brother Frank was an active member of Council 953 for many years. In addition to his service to his church and council, Frank was very active in other aspects of the community, including the California State Railroad Museum, Carmichael Elks Club, Italian Club, Model A Club of Sacramento, and Sierra Adoption Services. He truly lived out the principle of charity that is the cornerstone of the Knights of Columbus. May God grant eternal rest to Brother Frank and comfort his family.
