He was a life member of the following Masonic Prince Hall Affiliations; New Era Lodge #107, Lebanon Consistory #28, and Stoklin Temple #22.
Mr. Way was a faithful member of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and served as parliamentarian and food chairperson for the Calvarys Progressive Adults Ministry.
He departed this life Thursday, April 12, 1990.
Cherishing fond memories are: a devoted wife, Mary, to whom he was happily married for forty-nine (49) years; two daughters, Rosalyn Way Panton and Veronica Way; three grandchildren, Thelma Monique Panton, Simone Michelle Sweeper and Lance Christopher Panton; a son-in-law, Gordon J.

Raymond was known for being a gentle, compassionate and generous person and he was especially involved with and concerned about children. He had a heart of gold and would lend a helping hand to friend or stranger in need. May Gods perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace in his eternal home with God.
