  RWB Roy Stastny was an extremely hard working Mason. He was the one to raise me in the fraternity and the one to induct me as a WM. It was an honor to have known him and will be missed by many.

  A Poem from your son Craig to you;

  Only a Dad
  Edgar Albert Guest
   
  Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
 
Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.
 
Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
 
Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.

  Dear, Dad

  I’m happy I was able to see you one last time. I saw that smile on your face which meant so much to me. I wanted to say I appreciate everything you taught me. You took such good care of our family throughout the years as well. I never had children but I have grandchildren so I will take from you what I learned and forward it to them. Although we had our differences when you got Alzheimer’s I still love you forever. Until we meet again. May you Rest in Peace.

  With Love,
  Craig
