November 16, 1962 - June 17, 2021
 

Frank A. Howlett, Jr. born in Syracuse, NY Nov 16, 1962 died June 17, 2021.

He was predeceased by mother Joyce M. Howlett, brother Walter R. Howlett, and infant brother. He is survived by father, Frank A. Howlett, Sr. of New York; brother, Daniel A. Howlett of Alaska; sisters, Darleen M. Thompson (Jack) of New York, Julie M. Holmes of New York, and Elizabeth A. Fritz (Lyman) of Montana. After graduating from Marcellus Central Schools in NY, Frank continued his education by attending Bucknell University for electrical engineering.

He followed his career 28 years ago to Shelbyville, KY, where he worked with Bemis Flexible Packaging North America as an electronics and converting machine specialist. His career with Bemis afforded him the opportunity for international travel.

 

Frank was a Master Mason with the Masonic Wingate Lodge #161 in Simpsonville, KY. He enjoyed farming as a boy and that passion continued throughout his life and he was also an avid NASCAR enthusiast. Frank enjoyed traveling to NY to see family for the holidays and special occasions. Anyone who knew Frank would say that he was a caring friend that was willing to go the extra mile to lend a helping hand and was devoted to faith, family, and friends.

        The Brethren of Wingate Lodge #161 Free and Accepted Masons want to welcome you to our website. We hope that you will find our site informative for both the Mason and the non-Mason alike. Throughout the years since our inception in 1847, Wingate Lodge has withstood the test of time, and has always reached out to the community in many ways.

        We also enjoyed first meeting, and then accepting into our Fraternity, men of good moral character who want to have a sense of belonging and can come and unite with those of us who share the same values, and together we are constantly striving to making good men into better men.

        Our Lodge is located at 7305 Shelbyville Road (on US Highway 60 West), in the little town of Simpsonville, Shelby County, Kentucky. Our regularly scheduled Stated Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of every month. We open at 6:30pm for the Social Hour, and the Lodge comes to order for business at 7:30pm, with any scheduled Degree work to follow thereafter.
