Grandpa Kimmel of Youngstown AZ was a member of a masonic lodge
You gotta see this. I knew Jimmy Kimmel was from Phoenix because a friend of mine went to school with his little sister. I dug threw the old Phoenix papers and found this. They were in charge of Lucky Markets. I used to shop there with my mom when I was little. Look at the great grandpas pedigree. What a coinkydink that Jimmy Kimmel films his show in the masonic temple.
Charles G Kimmel of Youngstown AZ was a member of a masonic lodge, past COMMANDER of KNIGHTS TEMPLAR,past patron of ORDER OF EASTERN STAR, ROYAL ARCH MASON,NILE SHRINE in Washington state.
Check out the cemetery where great grandpappy (Charles Kimmel)was buried. It had a whites only policy for as long as they could get away with it. It's interdasting that they say it has a columbarium, in ancient times that was underground.
Greenwood Memorial Park, the first of the two cemeteries which make up Greenwood/Memory Lawn Mortuary & Cemetery, was established in 1906, by the Arizona Lodge No. 2 of the Free and Accepted Masons. The first early structures in the cemetery were a crematorium, a columbarium and a mausoleum.

On a side note, Greenwood cemetery located at 2300 w Van Buren is right where the Interstate 17 highway and the interstate 10 cross in Phoenix. I recall driving past there many times when I was younger and smelling the most awful smell. People always said there was a tallow plant that made the stench. I never realized there was a crematorium. That explains the awful smell.
