The Officers and Members of Tandragee District LOL. No 4 deeply regret the sad passing of our highly esteemed member and Past District Master Rt. Wor Bro Sidney McIlldoon. Sidney belonged to Cargans Memorial LOL 122 where he held the position of Lecturer, he also held the office of County Grand Lecturer and Grand Lecturer of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland. He was a true gentleman, friend, a man of sound advice and was held in the utmost respect by those who knew him. His loss to his lodge, our District and County and Orangeism as a whole is massive but far greater still is his loss to his family.
We extend our deepest sympathy on to Bro Clive and the entire McIldoon family at this most difficult of times. We pray for Irene, and pray for the doctors and nurses looking after her in hospital.
