The Ohio Masonic Home is proud to announce that its CEO Tom Stofac has been raised a Master Mason.
My raising created an indelible memory that will forever lie not only in my mind but also in my heart.
~Brother Thomas J. Stofac
On September 29, 2011, nine Trustees of the Ohio Masonic Home travelled from all areas of Ohio to Springfield’s St. Andrews Lodge # 619 to assist in the raising of Brother Thomas J. Stofac, Chief Executive Officer of the Ohio Masonic Home.
The Trustees, along with Senior Grand Warden James Easterling, Jr; Timothy Strawn, President of the Ohio Masonic Home Benevolent Endowment Fund; PDDGM Rodney Kovacs, and many current and past district deputy grand masters were part of nearly 100 brethren who witnessed an outstanding degree. Also attending were 16 residents of the Ohio Masonic Home.
Presiding in the second half of the degree was Past Grand Master (1984) C. Roland Lattanner, who recalled that in 1984, he held the same station when he raised the then-CEO of the Ohio Masonic Home.
The Trustees who took part were MWB Terry W. Posey; RWB Michael Puskarich (Chairman of the Board of Trustees); Dr. Ross Black, WB Richard Holcombe, WB Kermit Zimmerman; RWB Clarence Jack Hartzell; RWB Ronald Connelly; RWB William Stratton; and WB Steve Duncan.
Brother Stofac was suitably impressed and for a short time was at a loss for words. He recovered quickly and thanked his friends and brethren for their attendance and support.
