Members of the Harvester Knights of Columbus ask for prayers and support of friends, family and brother Knights after the passing of past Grand Knight Ray Lindewirth.
Ray passed away at DePaul Medical Center on Wed. Dec. 14 after a series of complications including congestive heart failure and kidney problems.
The council was blessed to not only have Ray as one of its members, but were honored to have such a great Knight and friend as its leader as Grand Knight from 1997-98. Ray was also an active volunteer with the Sts. J&A Care Service.
Medical issues prevented Ray from being an active member in the council during his later years, but he remained tied in to the council by continuing to communicate with members and Grand Knights eventhough he may not have physically been at meetings.
Ray wasn't the most wealthiest member of the council but the richness he held in his heart and his desire and willingness to do whatever he could on behalf of the council or those in need set an example for all Brother Knights and mankind to strive for.
Funeral arrangements will be posted here as they become available. Until then, we ask that you pray for the Lindewirth family and the council in general as everyone deals with the loss of Ray and celebrates in the joy of God having given us such a great friend, leader, and admirable man.
