Brethren and Friends,

It is my sad duty to inform you that Past Grand Master and Hall of Fame Inductee Henry E. "Hank" Stickney passed on October 17, 2017.

Brother Stickney was initiated in Thomas Jones Chapter in Ohio, and received the Degree of Chevalier, Cross of Honor, and Legion of Honor.

Hank served his country in the United States Air Force, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

He was elected an Active Member of the International Supreme Council in 1976, and served as Grand Master of DeMolay International from April 1986 - April 1987.

In 2005, he was inducted into the DeMolay Hall of Fame.

As a tribute to Dad Stickney's incredible support for the Order, the DeMolay International Henry E. "Hank" Stickney Service & Leadership Center was rededicated in his honor on August 12, 2016.

Memorial Service information has not been announced at this time.

Hank Stickney was a fighter. He fought for what he believed in, and he fought against the disease that ultimately took his life. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers during this time.

Fraternally,

Keith K. Klein, PGM

Grand Secretary
