His Royal Arch career began in Chapter 697 Warrenpoint in 1961 serving the Office of Excellent King in 1964/65.
As with all the branches of our Order in which Ardie was involved, he played a major role in Chapter activities.
He was Treasurer and Installing Officer in his Chapter for over twenty years. In 1988 District honours came with his appointment as District Grand Steward. Subsequently he was appointed Foreign Representative of the Grand Chapter of Massachusetts at the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Ireland.
In 1991 Ardie was appointed as District Deputy Grand King of Down, serving this Office until 2002 when he was Installed as District Grand King. An Office he served with distinction until stepping down on 2nd December 2006, less than two months prior to his passing.
Unfortunately Most Excellent Companion Agnew never got to attend District Chapter after his retirement in December 2006. |
