I am proud to say that Stacey and I both served as Master of Union Lodge and Potentate of Pyramid Shriners. He was a mentor and a friend to me as I climbed the ladder in both of these organizations with good and timely advice. I am extremely proud to say that we rode together in countless parades in the motor patrol. I know the reason I joined the Shriners was to help the children in our hospitals. And as much as I felt that way, I know Stacey felt that way 100 times over.
He will be sorely missed, but not forgotten.
Rest in peace my brother.
