Past Master Kemper McDonald was one of the first men in the Craft who truly shaped my journey. I joined the Order twenty years ago, young and still finding my place, and he welcomed me with patience, wisdom, and genuine brotherly love. He never hesitated to pick me up for meetings, and those car rides became some of the most meaningful lessons of my life.
Even when I went quiet or life pulled me in different directions, he always checked on me. He cared in a way that left an imprint that time can't erase.
Now looking back over those years, I realize even more how much of an impact he had—not just on my Masonic journey, but on the man I became.
Rest well, my Brother. Your light lives on in every life you touched, including mine. Thank you for your guidance, your kindness, and your example. New Providence Lodge #365 will never be the same without you.
Respectfully, Anthony Montgomery
