In the office of Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Higgins displayed boundless interest and
enthusiasm, an abiding faith in the inherent goodness of his fellowmen, a devotion to duty that
permitted of no favoritism or partiality, an eagerness to counsel with his brethren on all occasions
and a willingness to assume responsibility at all times. He was totally devoid of all undue
ostentation and his genial smile, gracious demeanor and pleasing personality won him a host of
friends everywhere. His every act demonstrated Masonic principles in practice, for to him Masonry
is a way of life—is the way of life—and the concept of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood
of Man a reality.

Along with his many Masonic commitments he gave generously of his time, interest and service
to civic activities and projects, constantly endeavoring to make his community the best and most
attractive of all. He was an active member of the Rotary Club and for many years has served as a
Trustee of the First Methodist Church of Everett.

Most Worshipful Brother Walter T Higgins was called from labor on February 13, 1991, and was
laid to rest at Evergreen Cemetery in Everett.
