During his tenure of service, Stan was first elected to preside over the Lodge as Worshipful Master in 1996, then was elected again in 2007, 2008, and 2009. He has served the lodge as an elected or appointed officer every year since he became a member.
The brothers of Virginia Falls Lodge chose to recognize his contributions to and support of the local lodge by presenting him with a momento, thanking him for his time and efforts.

He then worked for Kemp’s for 26 years until his retirement in 2018. Since his retirement, Seeger has continued to be active at the Masonic Lodge, assisting the new Masons which have come into the lodge in recent years . Stanley is a great asset to the lodge with his years of knowledge and experience within the freemason fraternity.
