international ambassador for Freemasonry. Alaska and the New Zealand - Australia area was of special
interest. He was extremely proud of his role in helping to establish the Grand Lodge of Alaska, and he
would tell me that many of his greatest experiences were found with Brother Masons who corresponded
with him and telephoned him from around the world.

He served on many governing boards and contributed regularly to several charities. He was especially
proud of his membership in the Scottish Rite and was a 33° Inspector General Honorary. He was a great
patriot, serving his country, belonging to patriotic organizations, promoting respect for the Flag and our
government. He believed in the American way of life. There was little doubt where Roy stood.

In addition to his Masonic activities, Roy's leadership abilities were recognized by other organizations.
He was President of the Lilac City Ceramic Club and was National Secretary of the National Ceramic
Association, serving as a National Board member of that organization for four years. An avid
outdoorsman, he was a life member of the National Rifle Association; as wells a life member of the Retired
Officers Association and held membership in the United States Power Squadron of Spokane.

Most Worshipful Brother Elmer Leroy “Roy” Foss was called from labor on January 14, 2001.
