He served Grand Lodge in many other capacities, as a member of the Committee on Jurisprudence and as
a member of the Committee on Grievance and Appeals, as well as rendering valuable service in a legal
way in connection with the Masonic Review Digest Case which ended happily in favor of our Grand
Lodge.

With one giving so much of his time and energy to Masonry it would not have been surprising if that
would have completed the story of his life's work but such was not the case. He was very civic-minded
and contributed liberally of his time and talents to the affairs of his community. For many years he was a
Trustee of The Old Settlers Association of Whatcom County. He was Secretary of the Bellingham
Chamber of Commerce from 1909 to 1911 and served as its President, serving two terms as such, 1950
and 1951. He was Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney from 1918 to 1923. He was elected President
of the Washington State Prosecuting Attorneys' Association in 1931. He was President of the Kiwanis
Club of Bellingham in 1942 and was Lieutenant Governor of the Washington-British Columbia Division
of Kiwanis International from 1947 to 1948. Brother Loomis was a devout and faithful member of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church of Bellingham, Washington.
