Our Past Grand Master has always been a true student of Freemasonry. He has consistently lived by our
philosophy and worked hard to promote the principles and tenets in his daily life and to others. His years
of skill and experience, and his calm and steady demeanor proved most helpful to each Grand Master he
served. He has always been there to offer his assistance and expertise when needed, and will be long
remembered as a faithful worker and leader in the quarries of Freemasonry.
