The Honorable Stuart Simms laid down his working tools

By -

 Honorable Brethren,

The Honorable Stuart Simms laid down his working tools Monday, September 7.  He was a member of Cibolo Lodge #151, The York Rite, The Commandery, The Scottish Rite, and Alzafar Shrine where is was a Past Potentate and served as treasurer.  He loved his work with the Shrine helping the children through their hospitals.  He served as board member of the Galveston Shriners Hospital. 

Visitation will be held Sunday, September 20 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Porter Loring Mortuary, 1101 McCullough Ave, San Antonio, TX 78212

Due to COVID restrictions a private committal service will be held at the Ft Sam Houston National Cemetery on September 21.

 There will be a memorial service at Alzafar Shrine on October 3, at 2:00 PM with a reception following. We will celebrate a life lived with integrity and honor in the finest tradition of the U.S. Army. Stuart’s love for all things Scottish will be front and center with the support of the Alzafar Highlanders.  Kilts are encouraged but not required.

 Brethren, please join in a prayer of thanksgiving for our brother Stuart Simms, and that God would comfort his sister Cheryl Gamez and family in their loss.  He touched many lives through his Masonic involvement but especially the children through the Shrine.

Brother Norm Ess

Brother Norman “Norm” Ess has been moved from BAMC to the Regents Center (Oakwell Farms), Room 210, 8501 Laurens Lane, San Antonio. His cancer is out of control and he is now in Hospice Care.  He will probably never be back in lodge again and he really wants to come back at least one more time.  He is weak and tires easily, but he appreciates every visitor.  So, if your able and take the time…Please go see Norm and stay for 30 minutes or less if you can.  His son, Terry, is in town and will be here for a week or so. Then he’ll return to SC and come back once he clears up a few things.   Again, please go see Norm if you can.   Fraternally Yours,   Dennis Lafferty District Deputy Grand Master, Masonic District 39-B Secretary, Charles W.
