Passing of Brother Chaplain, Robert “Bob” Ganfield

We are sad to announce the passing of Brother Bob Ganfield. Brother Bob had joined Mosaic Lodge in June of 2024 but was no stranger to Mosaic. Brother Bob was well known and regularly attended our degree work for several years and had been regularly attending our stated meetings for several months before his decline in health kept him away. We will dearly miss his distinctive voice and loving presence in our Lodge.

A Message From Our Worshipful Master

Randy Tolley

 

Mosaic Lodge was chartered by the Grand Lodge of Iowa, A.F. and A.M. in 1858 and over the years has compiled an interesting history – the highlights of which can be read on our History page. Since its chartering, a number of Lodge members have served the Grand Lodge of Iowa as officers – including three who were elected to the office of Grand Master of Masons in Iowa – the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a brother within this Grand Jurisdiction.

Membership in Mosaic Lodge is open to men of good moral character over the age of eighteen who possess a belief in a Supreme Being. The Lodge has a diverse membership composed of men of all ages and from a wide variety of professional, educational, religious, and cultural backgrounds. Please visit our About Freemasonry and Becoming a Mason pages to learn more about the Masonic Fraternity and how to become a Mason in Mosaic Lodge.
