 Ernest Woodrow "Woodie" Killingsworth 

Brother Woodie turned 100 years old December 6, 2018


Brother Woodie passed to be with his Lord and Savior on September 3, 2019.

 Check photos at the bottom of the page.

WB Ned Balzano, PM and Fellow Craft Brother Tom Dale presented him
with a new Ahiman Rezon on Saturday, December 15, 2018.


It was a most enjoyable visit. Brother Woodie brought joy to WB Balzano relating that he knew his father and grandfather; WB Albert H. Balzano and WB A. C. Ned Balzano; both Past Masters of Washington Lodge No. 5, AFM of SC.  He was also quite familiar with his grandfather's printing shop at 133 East Bay Street; a couple of houses away from the Exchange Building at the foot of Broad Street and East Bay Street. Fifty five years; Brother Woodie was as sharp as a tack!

He was a 60 Year Mason having been Raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason on June 3, 1955.
