| Our Defending Circle is broken. It is a Circle of Brotherhood. We have built a great fraternal society upon the precepts of Purity, Aid and Progress, and have seen in it the realization of our goal. We placed each member in this Defending Circle so it would shield those within. Only yesterday we let our thoughts dwell on that Circle, and our hearts felt pride and exaltation, but today the Circle is broken and we stand helpless in the presence of death.... It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that I inform you of the passing of So. St. Paul #1088 Pilgrim Max Simon. May he rest in peace. Max R. Simon, age 91, of Frederic, WI, passed away Friday, July 10, 2020. He was born August 9, 1928 in Veseli, MN and lived in South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights, MN. He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Anna; four brothers; six sisters; wife, Betty; and daughter, Diane. He is survived by his grandson, Patrick Jehlicka; granddaughter, Miranda Jehlicka; many nieces and nephews. Max was a life-time member of the Loyal Order of Moose South St. Paul #1088; VFW Post 295 South St. Paul; and a member of the American Legion Post 249 Frederic, WI. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Frederic, WI on Saturday, August 8, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Father Joseph Raj Alluri will be officiating. No Visitation will be held prior. |
