Masonic Life Network

The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason has not answered to his name.  He has laid down the working tools of the Craft and with them he has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use.  His labors here below have taught him to divest his heart and conscience of the vices and superfluities of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for that spiritual building – that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has sought admission to the Celestial Lodge above.

 Temescal Palms Lodge #314 celebrated its annual Public Schools Observance on Tuesday April 30, 2019. Thanks to our continued coordination with the Corona-Norco Unified School District and fundraising efforts of the Brethren, we honored students and teachers with monetary awards to use for classroom supplies and further educational opportunities. Thanks also to the City of Corona, State Senator Richard Roth, Assemblywoman Sabrina Cervantes, Riverside County Supervisor Karen Spiegel, and Representative Ken Calvert for providing all honorees certificates of recognition. Attendance was fantastic and a huge thanks to the Ladies of the Lodge for a wonderful dessert reception.

It is with deep regret that I need to inform you of the passing of Brother Lester Martin Starbuck on April 23^rd, 2019 at the age of 95 years, 7 months and 12 days and his loving wife Evelyn Jacobs Starbuck of 72 years who followed Les on May 3^rd, 2019.

 Brother Les was Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on May 29, 1947 in Laverne Valley Lodge No 453 in Laverne, Oilahoma and was a member in good standing for the past 72 years.  He joined Temecula Catalina Island Lodge in September of 1989.

 Brother Les had been a very active Mason in recent years and could be depended upon to assist where ever he was needed serving as Chaplain of our Lodge for 13 years.  He was always working around the Lodge and could be counted on to assist with cleaning up the outdoor Lodge room when needed.  Brother Les received the Golden Anniversary Award in 1997 for 50 years as a member of the craft.  In 1997 he was also bestowed with the Hiram Award for his years of dedicated service to his Lodge.

 Brother Les served in the U.S. Navy as a Radar Technician during World War II and later worked for the Federal Aviation Agency for 26 years as an Aerospace Engineer/Flight Test Engineer.  Brother Les and Evelyn were both active members of Grace Presbyterian Church in Temecula.

 Brother Les was a kind man and never had a negative thing to say about anyone.  He will be sorely missed.

 Sincerely and Fraternally,
