It is with great sadness that I report the death of our longtime parishioner and friend, George Helmke. George died in his sleep least night at the age of 99.

A funeral service has been set for March 9 at 1pm here at St Mark’s.

Below you will find an excellent video of George, put together by AT&T. It tells of his life and career.

Rest eternal grant to him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and souls of all the faithful departed, Rest In Peace. Amen.
