Dr. Bishop Zoltán Beky, D.l). of whom it can rightfully he said: "He has not lived in vain". H e want to share the loss with the Beky family, f aith and wisdom, however, counsels us not to look upon the loss, hut rather appreciate his contribution to mankind, to our fraternal system, to the church, nation and our association, of which he was a member.

H e can this morning find consolation, peace and understanding from the words "Job": “The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord".

The personal friendship that we shared shall always be cherished by me. At this moment of farewell, he echoes the words of apostle Paul: "I have done my best in the race. / have run the full distance. / have kept the faith, and now the price of victory is waiting főimé, the crown of righteousness".
