February marked a special milestone for WBro. David Stuckey as he celebrated 40 years in the Craft with a Lodge Rangitāne Milestone Award.

David’s Masonic journey began back in 1986, when he was warmly welcomed and initiated by Lodge Waimarino No. 175 in Raetihi. Those early days laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong commitment to the Craft.

With the support and encouragement of his fellow members, David proudly took on the role of Master of Lodge Waimarino in both 1991 and again in 1995.

In 1992 David became one of the founding members of Lodge Wharite No. 451, Palmerston North’s unique daytime lodge. He was deeply honoured to be installed as Master of Lodge Wharite in 1999, and then again in 2018 and 2019.

Over the years, David’s Masonic family grew. He was an active member of The Petre Lodge No. 457 in Whanganui from 1993 to 2022 and joined Rongotea Lodge No. 146, serving there from 2018 to 2024.

In 2021, David joined Lodge Rangitane No. 369. Since 2022, he has proudly served as Secretary, always eager to help and support the lodge in any way he can.
